Luke 19:1-10 (NIV)
1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus;
he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.
3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but
because he was short he could not see over the crowd.
4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
5 When Jesus reached the spot,
he looked up and said to him,
“Zacchaeus, come down immediately.
I must stay at your house today.”
6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7 All the people saw this and began to mutter,
“He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”
9 Jesus said to him,
“Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
