Luke 19:1-8
Worldwide English (New Testament)
19 Jesus came to the city of Jericho and was passing through it.
2 A man named Zacchaeus was there. He was the head tax collector, and he was a rich man.
3 He wanted to see who Jesus was but he could not see him because he was a short man and there were many people around him.
4 So he ran ahead and climbed into a tree to see Jesus, for he was coming that way.
5 When Jesus came to the tree, he looked up. He said, `Zacchaeus, come down right now. I must stay at your house today.'
6 So Zacchaeus came down right then. He was glad to have Jesus come in his house.
7 When all the people saw this, they did not like it. They said, `He has gone to visit a bad man.'
8 Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, `Look, Lord, I will give to the poor people half of all I have. And if I have cheated anyone, I will give him back four times as much as I took.'

Luke 19:1-8
New International Version
Zacchaeus the Tax Collector
19 Jesus entered Jericho(A) and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig(B) tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.(C)
5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”(D)
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord,(E) “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything,(F) I will pay back four times the amount.”(G)
