1. He entered Jericho and was passing through.
2. And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.
3. Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
4. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way.
5. When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
