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.
12. Therefore he said, “A nobleman went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return.
13. And he summoned ten of his slaves, gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business with these until I come back.’
14. But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to be king over us!’
15. When he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summoned these slaves to whom he had given the money. He wanted to know how much they had earned by trading.
16. So the first one came before him and said, ‘Sir, your mina has made ten minas more.’
