Jesus

And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.

And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him: for he was to pass that way.

And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down: for this day I must abide in thy house.

And he made haste and came down and received him with joy.

And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.
