1 耶 稣 进 了 耶 利 哥 , 正 经 过 的 时 候 ,
2 冇 一 个 人 名 叫 撒 该 , 作 税 吏 长 , 是 个 财 主 。
3 他 要 看 看 耶 稣 是 怎 样 的 人 ; 只 因 人 多 , 他 的 身 量 又 矮 , 所 以 不 得 看 见 ,
4 就 跑 到 前 头 , 爬 上 桑 树 , 要 看 耶 稣 , 因 为 耶 稣 必 从 那 里 经 过 。
5 耶 稣 到 了 那 里 , 抬 头 一 看 , 对 他 说 : 撒 该 , 快 下 来 ! 今 天 我 必 住 在 你 家 里 。
6 他 就 急 忙 下 来 , 欢 欢 喜 喜 的 接 待 耶 稣 。
7 众 人 看 见 , 都 私 下 议 论 说 : 他 竟 到 罪 人 家 里 去 住 宿 。
8 撒 该 站 着 对 主 说 : 主 阿 , 我 把 所 冇 的 一 半 给 穷 人 ; 我 若 讹 诈 了 谁 , 就 还 他 四 倍 。
9 耶 稣 说 : 今 天 救 恩 到 了 这 家 , 因 为 他 也 是 亚 伯 拉 罕 的 子 孙 。
10 人 子 来 , 为 要 寻 找 , 拯 救 失 丧 的 人 。
1 And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it,
2 A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,
3 Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.
4 And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.
6 And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.
7 And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.
8 And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.
9 And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.
