Zacchaeus the Tax Collector
Luke 19:5-6 (NLT)
When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus
and called him by name.
“Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down!
I must be a guest in your home today.”
Zacchaeus quickly climbed down
and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy.
Luke 19:8-10 (NLT)
Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said,
“I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes,
I will give them back four times as much!”
Jesus responded, “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek
and save those who are lost.”
