Seeker Overlay ON

* So he entered Jericho and was passing through the town . * There was a man there , called Zaccheus , who was a chief of the tax - gatherers , and was wealthy . * And he kept trying to see what sort of a man Jesus was ; but he could not see because he was short . * So he ran on before him and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him ; for he was about to pass that way . * As soon as Jesus came to the place , he looked up and said to him , "Come down quickly , Zaccheus , for today I must stay at your house ." * He made haste to climb down , and receive him joyfully . * When they all saw it , they began to complain , saying "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner ." * But Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord , "I give half my property to the poor , Lord , and if I have defrauded any man of anything I am restoring it to him fourfold ." * "Today is salvation come to this house ," said Jesus "since Zaccheus here is a son of Abraham . * "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save the lost ."
