Luke 19:1-10

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Salvation Comes To a Rich Tax Collector Named Zacchaeus

19 And having entered, he was going through Jericho. ² And behold— there was a man being called by the name Zacchaeus. And he was a chief-tax-collector. And he was rich. ³ And he was seeking to see Who Jesus was. And he was not able because of the crowd, because he was short in stature. ⁴ And having run ahead to the place in front, he went up on a sycamore-tree in order that he might see Him, because He was going to come through that way. ⁵ And when He came upon the place, having looked-up, Jesus said to him, “Zacchaeus, having hurried, come down. For today I must stay at your house”. ⁶ And having hurried, he came down and received^[a] Him, rejoicing. ⁷ And having seen it, they all were grumbling, saying that “He went in to take-up-lodging with a sinful man”. ⁸ And having stood^[b], Zacchaeus said to the Lord, “Behold, Master— I am giving half of my possessions to the poor. And if I extorted anything from anyone, I am giving it back fourfold”. ⁹ And Jesus said with-regard-to^[c] him that “Today salvation came^[d] to this house, because even^[e] he is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost”.
