Luke 19:1-19

He entered Jericho and was passing through. There was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was not able because of the crowd, since he was a short man. So running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus, since he was about to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today it is necessary for me to stay at your house.” So he quickly came down and welcomed him joyfully. All who saw it began to complain,  “He’s gone to stay with a sinful man.” But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, I’ll give half of my possessions to the poor,  Lord. And if I have extorted  anything from anyone, I’ll pay back four times as much.”  “Today salvation   has come to this house,” Jesus told him, “because he too is a son of Abraham.   For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”   As  they were listening to this, he went on to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem,  and they thought the kingdom of God was going to appear right away.  Therefore he said, “A nobleman traveled to a far country to receive for himself authority to be king   and then to return. He called ten of his servants, gave them ten minas,   and told them, ‘Engage in business until I come back.’ “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to rule over us.’ “At his return, having received the authority to be king, he summoned those servants he had given the money to, so that he could find out how much they had made in business. The first came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten more minas.’ “ ‘Well done, good   servant! ’ he told him. ‘Because you have been faithful   in a very small matter, have authority over ten towns.’ “The second came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’ “So he said to him, ‘You will be over five towns.’
