Luke 19:2-10

2And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich. 3Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature. 4So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a 12sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way. 5When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 6And he hurried and came down and received Him 3gladly. 7When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, “He has gone 4to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8Zaccheus stopped and said to 5the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I 6will give to the poor, and if I have 7defrauded anyone of anything, I 8will give back 9four times as much.” 9And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is 10a son of Abraham. 10For 11the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
