Zacchaeus

(Luke 19:1-10)

Jesus was going through Jericho where a
man named Zacchaeus lived. He was in charge of
collecting taxes* and was very rich. Jesus was
heading his way, and Zacchaeus wanted to see what
he was like. But Zacchaeus was a short man and
could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead
and climbed up into a sycamore tree.

When Jesus got there, He looked up and said
"Zacchaeus, hurry down! I want to stay with you today".
Zacchaeus hurried down and gladly welcomed Jesus.

Everyone who saw this started grumbling.
"This man Zacchaeus is a sinner! And Jesus
is going home to eat with him".

Later that day Zacchaeus stood up and said
to the Lord, "I will give half of my property
to the poor. And I will now pay back four
times as much* to everyone I have ever cheated.

Jesus said to Zacchaeus, "Today you and your
family have been saved,* because you are a
true son of Abraham.* The Son of Man came to
look for and to save people who are lost!
