1 And as Jeshu entered and passed through Jirichu,2 there was a certain man whose name was Zakai; he was rich and chief of the publicans:3 and he wished to see Jeshu, who he was, and could not for the crowd, because in his stature Zakai was small.4 And he ran before Jeshu, and ascended a wild fig-tree to see him, because so he was about to pass.5 And when Jeshu came to that place, he saw him, and said to him, Be in haste, descend, Zakai; for to-day I must be at thy house.6 And he was in haste, and descended, and received him rejoicing.7 But when they all saw (this), they murmured, and said that with a man a sinner he hath gone in to abide.8 But Zakai stood, and said to Jeshu, Behold, my Lord, the dividing of my wealth give I to the poor; and to every man, whatever I have wrongfully taken, fourfold I restore.9 Jeshu saith to him, To-day is there salvation to this house, because this (man) also (is a) son of Abraham.10 For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.
