*
And he entered and passed through Jericho .
*
And behold , [
there was ]
a man by name called Zacchaeus ,
and he was chief tax-gatherer ,
and he was rich .
*
And he sought to see Jesus who he was :
and he could not for the crowd ,
because he was little in stature .
*
And running on before ,
he got up into a sycamore that he might see him ,
for he was going to pass that [
way ].
*
And when he came up to the place ,
Jesus looked up and saw him ,
and said to him ,
Zacchaeus ,
make haste and come down ,
for to-day I must remain in thy house .
*
And he made haste and came down ,
and received him with joy .
*
And all murmured when they saw [
it ],
saying ,
He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man .
*
But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord ,
Behold ,
Lord ,
the half of my goods I give to the poor ,
and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation ,
I return [
him ]
fourfold .
*
And Jesus said to him ,
To-day salvation is come to this house ,
inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham ;
*
for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost .
