SCRIPTURE
Luke 19: 1-10
“Today
salvation has come to this house”
1
He entered Jericho and was passing through it. 2 A man was there
named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. 3 He was
trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because
he was short in stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore
tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus
came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come
down; for I must stay at your house today." 6 So he hurried down
and was happy to welcome him. 7 All who saw it began to grumble and
said, "He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner." 8
Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, "Look, half of my possessions,
Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I
will pay back four times as much." 9 Then Jesus said to him,
"Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of
Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the
lost."
