1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.

6 So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.

7 But when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.

8 And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, I give half of my possessions to the poor; and whatever I have taken from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.

9 And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

1 E, TENDO Jesus entrado em Jericó, ia passando. 2 E eis que havia ali um varão chamado Zaqueu; e era este um chefe dos publicanos, e era rico. 3 E procurava ver quem era Jesus, e não podia, por causa da multidão, pois era de pequena estatura. 4 E, correndo adiante, subiu a uma figueira brava para o ver; porque havia de passar por ali. 5 E, quando Jesus chegou àquele lugar, olhando para cima, viu-o e disse-lhe: Zaqueu, desce depressa, porque hoje me convém pousar em tua casa. 6 E, apressando-se, desceu, e recebeu-o gostoso. 7 E, vendo todos isto, murmuravam, dizendo que entrara para ser hóspede de um homem pecador. 8 E, levantando-se Zaqueu, disse ao Senhor: Senhor, eis que eu dou aos pobres metade dos meus bens; e, se nalguma coisa tenho defraudado alguém, o restituo quadruplicado. 9 E disse-lhe Jesus: Hoje veio a salvação a esta casa, pois também este é filho de Abraão. 10 Porque o Filho do homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.
