5. And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because I must stay at your house today.”
6. So he came down quickly and welcomed Jesus joyfully.
7. And when the people saw it, they all complained, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”
8. But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!”
9. Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this household, because he too is a son of Abraham!
10. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
11. While the people were listening to these things, Jesus proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
