Bible discovery
1 Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 365D 235.2
2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 365D 235.3
3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. 365D 235.4
4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. 365D 235.5
5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up [a] and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, [b] make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 365D 235.6
6 So he [c] made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. 365D 235.7
7 But when they saw it, they all [d] complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.” 365D 235.8
8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” 365D 235.9
9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; 365D 235.10
10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” 365D 235.11
