1 HE entered and was passing through Jericho.2 In the city there was a man called Zacchaeus, who was chief of the tax collectors and was rich.3 He was trying to see Jesus \'97 what he was like; but he could not on account of the crowd, for he was short in stature.4 So running ahead he climbed up into a mulberry tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, make haste and come down; to-day I must stay at your house."6 He hurriedly descended and welcomed him joyfully.7 All who saw it grumbled, saying that Jesus was going in to stay with a sinner.8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Master, "See, the half of my property, Sir, I give to the poor, and if I have unjustly taken anything from any one, I will give him back four-fold."9 Jesus said to him, "To-day salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."
