And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho;

and lo! a man, by name called Zacchaeus, and, he, was a chief tax-collector, and hewas rich.

And he was seeking to see Jesus, what sort of man he was, and could not for the multitude, because, in stature, he was, small.

And, running forward unto the front, he got up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him; for, by that way, was he about to pass.

And, as he came up to the place, looking up, Jesus said unto him - Zacchaeus! make haste, and come down; For, to-day, in thy house, I must needs abide.

And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying - With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge!

But, taking his stand, Zacchaeus said unto the Lord - Lo! the half of my possessions, Lord, unto the destitute, I give; and, if, from anyone, I have taken aught by false accusation, I give back fourfold.

And Jesus said unto him - This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come, - for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham;

For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.
