^11 [a]For the Son of man came to save [^[b]from the penalty of eternal death] that which was lost.

19 And [Jesus] entered Jericho and was passing through it.

² And there was a man called Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, and [he was] rich.

³ And he was trying to see Jesus, which One He was, but he could not on account of the crowd, because he was small in stature.

⁴ So he ran on ahead and climbed up in a sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass that way.

⁵ And when Jesus reached the place, He looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.

⁶ So he hurried and came down, and he received and welcomed Him joyfully.

⁷ And when the people saw it, they all ^[a]muttered among themselves and indignantly complained, He has gone in to be the guest of and lodge with a man who is devoted to sin and preeminently a sinner.

⁸ So then Zacchaeus stood up and solemnly declared to the Lord, See, Lord, the half of my goods I [now] give [by way of restoration] to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone out of anything, I [now] restore four times as much.^(A)

⁹ And Jesus said to him, Today is [^[b]Messianic and spiritual] salvation come to [all the members of] this household, since Zacchaeus too is a [real spiritual] son of Abraham;

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
