2 There was a man named Zacchaeus, who was rich and chief of the publicans. 3 And he wanted to see who Jesus was; but he could not because of the crowd, for Zacchaeus was small in his stature. 4 So he ran ahead of Jesus, and climbed up into a fig tree without leaves, that he might see him, because he was to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came to that place, he saw him and said to him, Make haste, come down, O Zacchaeus, for today I must remain in your house. 6 And he hastened, and came down, and welcomed him with joy. 7 Now when they all saw it, they murmured, saying, He has entered to stay in the house of a sinner. 8 But Zacchaeus rose up and said to Jesus, Behold, my Lord, half of my wealth I will give to the poor; and I will pay fourfold to every man from whom I have extorted.
