Luke:19:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ,
having entered ,
he was passing through Jericho ;
*
and lo !
a man ,
by name called Zacchaeus ,
and ,
he ,
was a chief tax-collector ,
and he was rich .
*
And he was seeking to see Jesus ,
what sort of man he was ,
and could not for the multitude ,
because ,
in stature ,
he was ,
small .
*
And ,
running forward unto the front ,
he got up a sycamore-tree ,
that he might see him ;
for ,
by that way ,
was he about to pass .
*
And ,
as he came up to the place ,
looking up ,
Jesus said unto him Zacchaeus !
make haste ,
and come down ;
For ,
to-day ,
in thy house ,
I must needs abide .
*
And he made haste ,
and came down ,
and received him joyfully .
*
And all ,
when they beheld ,
began to murmur ,
saying With a sinful man ,
hath he gone in to lodge !
*
But ,
taking his stand ,
Zacchaeus said unto the Lord Lo !
the half of my possessions ,
Lord ,
unto the destitute ,
I give ;
and ,
if ,
from anyone ,
I have taken aught by false accusation ,
I give back fourfold .
*
And Jesus said unto him This day ,
salvation ,
unto this house ,
hath come ,
for that ,
he too ,
is ,
a son of Abraham ;
*
For the Son of Man came ,
to seek and to save what was lost .
