Luke

Luke.19 Verses 1 to 10


    [1] He entered Jericho and was passing through.
    [2] And there was a man named Zacchae'us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich.
    [3] And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature.
    [4] So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
    [5] And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchae'us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today."
    [6] So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.
    [7] And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."
    [8] And Zacchae'us stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold."
    [9] And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.
    [10] For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."
