Luke
19:1-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus Comes to Zacchaeus’ House
19 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.”
