Amplified Bible

Luke 19:1-6 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. AND [Jesus] entered Jericho and was passing through it.

2. And there was a man called Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, and [he was] rich.

3. And he was trying to see Jesus, which One He was, but he could not on account of the crowd, because he was small in stature.

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

5. And when Jesus reached the place, He looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.

6. So he hurried and came down, and he received and welcomed Him joyfully.
