2. And here was a man by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3. Zacchaeus was trying to see who Yeshua was, but he couldn’t because of the crowd, for he was short in height.
4. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Yeshua, for He was about to pass through that way.
5. When Yeshua came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.”
6. Zacchaeus hurried and came down and welcomed Him joyfully.
7. But when everyone saw it, they began to grumble, saying, “Yeshua has gone to be the guest of a sinner!”
8. But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord. “Look, Master, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have somehow cheated anyone, I repay four times as much!”
