Luke 19

8 Later that day Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "I will give half of my property to the poor. And I will now pay back four times as much*19.8 pay back four times as much: Both Jewish and Roman law said that a person must pay back four times the amount that was taken. to everyone I have ever cheated."

9 Jesus said to Zacchaeus, "Today you and your family have been saved,*19.9 saved: Zacchaeus was Jewish, but it is only now that he is rescued from sin and placed under God’s care. because you are a true son of Abraham.*19.9 son of Abraham: As used in this verse, the words mean that Zacchaeus is truly one of God’s special people.
