Luke 19:2-8 ▼

2 Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.

3 And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature.

4 Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.

5 And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp, and saw him, and said vnto him, Zaccheus, come downe at once: for to day I must abide at thine house.

6 Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.

7 And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.

8 And Zaccheus stood forth, & said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.
