2 And behold, a certain man by name called Zaccheus; and he was chief of the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he was seeking to see Jesus, who He is; and was not able on account of the multitude, because he was small in stature. 4 And having run forward in advance, he went up in a sycamore-tree in order that he might see Him: because He was about to pass that way. 5 And when He came to the place, Jesus looking up, saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, hastening, come down; for it behooveth me to abide in thy house this day. 6 And hastening, he came down, and received Him rejoicing. 7 And all seeing, murmured, saying, that He is come in to abide with a sinner man. 8 And Zaccheus standing, said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any one fraudulently, I restore fourfold.
