Today's
scripture
Luke 19:1-10 (New International Version)
Zacchaeus the Tax Collector
1Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2A man was there by
the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3He wanted to see
who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the
crowd. 4So he
ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was
coming that way.
5When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to
him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house
today." 6So he
came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has
gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.' "
8But
Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I
give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody
out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."
9Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this
house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of
Man came to seek and to save what was lost."
