Luke 19:2-10

2And 1there 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 he was unable due to the crowd, because he was short in stature. 4So he ran on ahead and climbed up a 23sycamore tree in order to see Him, because He was about to pass through that way. 5And when 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 4joyfully. 7When the people saw this, they all began to complain, saying, “He has gone in 5to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!” 8But Zaccheus stopped and said to 6the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I am giving to the poor, and if I have 7extorted anything from anyone, I am giving back 8four times as much.” 9And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is 9a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
