1. And having entered, he walked through Jericho.
2. And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy.
3. And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
4. And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there.
5. And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: "Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house."
6. And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully.
7. And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man.
8. But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: "Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold."
9. Jesus said to him: "Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham.
10. For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost."
11. As they were listening to these things, continuing on, he spoke a parable, because he was nearing Jerusalem, and because they guessed that the kingdom of God might be manifested without delay.
