Luke 19:1-10 (Gospel)

1
Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2
Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3
And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.
4
So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.
5
And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
6
So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.
7
But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”
8
Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”
9
And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;
10
for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
