2 And, behold, a man, called Zaccheus by name, and he was chief of the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus, who he is; and he could not, from the crowd, for he was small in size. 4 And having run before, he went up upon an Egyptian fig tree, that he might see him: for he was about to pass through that. 5 And when he came to the place, having looked up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, having hastened, come down; for to day must I remain in thine house. 6 And having hasted, he came down, and received him rejoicing. 7 And all they having seen, murmured, saying, That he entered in to rest with a sinful man. 8 And Zaccheus having stood, said to the Lord, Behold, the half of my possessions, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I have made any false accusation against any one, I give back fourfold.
