From the Gospel according to Luke
At that time, Jesus entered the city of Jericho and was passing through, when a man named Zacchaeus, chief tax collector and rich, trying to see who Jesus was, but he could not because of the crowd, because it was small in stature. So he ran ahead and be able to see him, he climbed a sycamore tree, because he had to pass that way.
When he came to the place, Jesus looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house." He went down quickly and received him joyfully. Seeing this, they all murmured, "You entered the house of a sinner." But
Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord: "Behold, Lord, I give half of what I possess to the poor, and if I stole it from someone back four times as much."
Jesus said, "Today this house is coming to salvation, because it too is a son of Abraham. The Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost. "
