When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today I must stay at your house.”

So he quickly came down and welcomed Him joyfully. All who saw it began to complain,(A) “He’s gone to lodge with a sinful man!”

But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, I’ll give[a] half of my possessions to the poor,(B) Lord! And if I have extorted(C) anything from anyone, I’ll pay[b] back four times as much!”(D)
