Luke 19:2-10

2Now a man named Zacchaeus was there; he was a chief tax collector and was rich.

3He was trying to get a look at Jesus, but being a short man he could not see over the crowd.

4So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was going to pass that way.

5And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because I must stay at your house today.”

6So he came down quickly and welcomed Jesus joyfully.

7And when the people saw it, they all complained, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”

8But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!”

9Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this household, because he too is a son of Abraham!

10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
