税吏撒该

19 耶稣进了耶利哥,正经过的时候, 有一个人名叫撒该,做税吏长,是个财主, 他要看看耶稣是怎样的人。只因人多,他的身量又矮,所以不得看见。 就跑到前头,爬上桑树,要看耶稣,因为耶稣必从那里经过。 耶稣到了那里,抬头一看,对他说:撒该,快下来!今天我必住在你家里。” 他就急忙下来,欢欢喜喜地接待耶稣。 众人看见,都私下议论说:“他竟到罪人家里去住宿!” 撒该站着对主说:“主啊,我把所有的一半给穷人,我若讹诈了谁,就还他四倍。” 耶稣说:“今天救恩到了这家,因为他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。 10 人子来,为要寻找、拯救失丧的人。”

Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

19 Jesus entered Jericho(A) and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig(B) tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.(C)

When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”(D)

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)

Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.(H) 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”(I)

19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
