1 Jesus was passing through Jericho.
2 A man named Zacchaeus was there. He was the director of tax collectors, and he was rich.
3 He tried to see who Jesus was. But Zacchaeus was a small man, and he couldn’t see Jesus because of the crowd.
4 So Zacchaeus ran ahead and climbed a fig tree to see Jesus, who was coming that way.
5 When Jesus came to the tree, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down! I must stay at your house today.”
