Jesus and Zacchaeus

19 And he entered and^[a] traveled through Jericho. ² And there was^[b] a man named^[c] Zacchaeus, and he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. ³ And he was seeking to see Jesus—who he was—and he was not able to as a result of the crowd, because he was short in stature. ⁴ And he ran on ahead and^[d] climbed up into a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because he was going to go through that way. ⁵ And when he came to the place, Jesus looked up and^[e] said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because it is necessary for me to stay at your house today!” ⁶ And he came down quickly and welcomed him joyfully. ⁷ And when they^[f] saw it,^[g] they all began to complain,^[h] saying, “He has gone in to find lodging with a man who is a sinner!” ⁸ And Zacchaeus stopped and^[i] said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I am giving to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I am paying it^[j] back four times as much!” ⁹ And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save those who are lost.”
