Luke 19:1-6 ▼

1 As Jesus was pursuing his journey from Jericho,

2 one Zaccheus, a rich man, and collector-general of the customs,

3 was very desirous to see the person of Jesus, but could not for the crowd, he being of a low stature.

4 so he ran before, and climb'd up a mulberry-tree to view him; for he was to pass that way.

5 as soon as Jesus came at the place, he look'd up, and seeing him, Zaccheus, said he, make haste down; for I intend to dine at your house to-day.

6 so down he came in great haste, and gave Jesus a joyful reception.
