Zaccheus Converted

19 He ^(A)entered Jericho and was passing through. ² And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich. ³ Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature. ⁴ So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a ^[a](B)sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way. ⁵ When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” ⁶ And he hurried and came down and received Him ^[b]gladly. ⁷ When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, “He has gone ^[c]to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” ⁸ Zaccheus stopped and said to ^(C)the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I ^[d]will give to the poor, and if I have ^(D)defrauded anyone of anything, I ^[e]will give back ^(E)four times as much.” ⁹ And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is ^(F)a son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For ^(G)the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
