And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and he was unable due to the crowd, because he was short in stature.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

So he ran on ahead and climbed up a sycamore tree in order to see Him, because He was about to pass through that way.

When the people saw this, they all began to complain, saying, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!"

But Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I am giving to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I am giving back four times as much."

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

"For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
