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. 7 upon seeing this, they all murmur'd, saying, he is going to be treated by a dissolute person. 8 but Zaccheus address'd himself to Jesus, and said, Lord, half my estate I give to the poor; and if I have wrong'd any man, I will give him four times the value.
