Luke 19:1-10 ▼

1 And he entred in, and went through Hierico.

2 And beholde, there was a man named Zacheus, which was the chiefe among the publicanes, and was riche also :

3 And he sought meanes to see Iesus, what he shoulde be, & coulde not for the preasse, because he was litle of stature.

4 And he ran before, and clymed vp into a wylde fygge tree, to see hym: for he was to come that way.

5 And when Iesus came to the place, he loked vp and sawe hym, and sayde vnto hym: Zache, come downe at once, for to day I must abyde at thy house.

6 And he came downe hastyly, and receaued hym ioyfully.

7 And when they al saw it, they murmured, saying that he was gone in to tary with a man that is a synner.

8 And Zache stoode foorth, and sayde vnto the Lorde: Beholde Lorde, the halfe of my goodes I geue to the poore, and yf I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.

9 Iesus sayde vnto hym: This daye is saluation come to this house, because that he also is become the childe of Abraham.

10 For the sonne of man is come to seke, and to saue that which was lost.
