Luke 19:1-10

Revised Geneva Translation

19 Now when Jesus entered and passed through Jericho,

² behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief receiver of the tribute. And he was rich.

³ And he sought to see Jesus (who He was) and could not because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.

⁴ Therefore he ran ahead and climbed up into a wild fig tree, so that he might see Him. For He would be coming that way.

⁵ And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus! Come down at once! For today I must stay at your house!”

⁶ Then he quickly came down and received Him joyfully.

⁷ And when they all saw it, they murmured, saying that He had gone to lodge with a sinful man.

⁸ But Zacchaeus, standing, said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have taken from anyone by false accusation, I restore it to him fourfold.”

⁹ Then Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house! Because he has also become the son of Abraham!

¹⁰ “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save those who have been lost.”
