1. And he entered and was passing through Jericho.
2. And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.
3. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4. And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.
6. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.
