Texts -- Luke 19:1-10 (NET)

Context
Jesus and Zacchaeus
19:1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through it. 19:2 Now a man named Zacchaeus was there; he was a chief tax collector and was rich . 19:3 He was trying to get a look at Jesus , but being a short man he could not see over the crowd . 19:4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him , because Jesus was going to pass that way. 19:5 And when Jesus came to that place , he looked up and said to him , “Zacchaeus , come down quickly , because I must stay at your house today .” 19:6 So he came down quickly and welcomed Jesus joyfully . 19:7 And when the people saw it, they all complained , “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner .” 19:8 But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord , “Look , Lord , half of my possessions I now give to the poor , and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much !” 19:9 Then Jesus said to him , “Today salvation has come to this household , because he too is a son of Abraham ! 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost .”
