1. And he entered and traveled through Jericho.
2. And there was a man named Zacchaeus, and he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3. And he was seeking to see Jesus—who he was—and he was not able to as a result of the crowd, because he was short in stature.
4. And he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because he was going to go through that way.
5. And when he came to the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because it is necessary for me to stay at your house today!”
6. And he came down quickly and welcomed him joyfully.
7. And when they saw it, they all began to complain, saying, “He has gone in to find lodging with a man who is a sinner!”
