Luke 19:1-10
1599 Geneva Bible
19 2 Zacchaeus the Publican. 13 Ten pieces of money delivered to servants to occupy withall. 19 Jesus entereth into Jerusalem. 41 He foretelleth the destruction of the ciy with tears. 45 He casteth the sellers out of the Temple.
1 Now [a]when Jesus entered and passed through Jericho,
2 Behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the [b]chief receiver of the tribute, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus, who he should be, and could not for the press, because he was of a low stature.
4 Wherefore he ran before, and climbed up into a wild fig tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, come down at once: for today I must abide at thine house.
6 Then he came down hastily, and received him joyfully.
7 [c]And when all they saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone in to lodge with a sinful man.
8 [d]And Zacchaeus stood forth, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor: and if I have taken from any man by [e]forged cavillation, I restore him fourfold.
9 Then Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come unto this house, forasmuch as he is also become the [f]son of Abraham.
10 (A)For the son of man is come to seek, and to save that which was lost.
