*
Jesus came to the city of Jericho and was passing through it .
*
A man named Zacchaeus was there .
He was the head tax collector ,
and he was a rich man .
*
He wanted to see who Jesus was but he could not see him because he was a short man and there were many people around him .
*
So he ran ahead and climbed into a tree to see Jesus ,
for he was coming that way .
*
When Jesus came to the tree ,
he looked up .
He said ,
Zacchaeus ,
come down right now .
I must stay at your house today .
*
So Zacchaeus came down right then .
He was glad to have Jesus come in his house .
*
When all the people saw this ,
they did not like it .
They said ,
He has gone to visit a bad man .
*
Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord ,
Look ,
Lord ,
I will give to the poor people half of all I have .
And if I have cheated anyone ,
I will give him back four times as much as I took .
*
Jesus said to him ,
The head of this house has been saved today !
He also is a son of Abraham .
*
The Son of Man came to look for and to save those who are lost .
