Jesus entered Jericho and walked through the town. A man was there named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector. He was very rich. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he couldn't see over the crowd. So he ran ahead, and climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus as he passed by. When Jesus got there, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly! I need to stay at your house today.” Zacchaeus climbed down quickly and was so happy to welcome Jesus to his home. When the people saw this they all complained, “He's gone to stay with such a sinner!” But Zacchaeus stood up and said before the Lord, “Look, I'm giving half of everything I own to the poor, and if I've cheated anybody, I'll pay them back four times as much!” In response Jesus said, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man has shown he is a son of Abraham too. For the Son of man came to search for and save those who are lost.”
