New International Reader's Version

Luke 19:1-4 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

2. A man named Zacchaeus lived there. He was a chief tax collector and was very rich.

3. Zacchaeus wanted to see who Jesus was. But he was a short man. He could not see Jesus because of the crowd.

4. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree. He wanted to see Jesus, who was coming that way.
