Luke 19

² A man named Zacchaeus lived there. He ran the tax office for the whole area. Money poured into his house.

⁵ Jesus got to that spot and looked up. "Zacchaeus! Get down now! I need to stay at your house today."

⁷ The crowd started to grumble. "He went to eat with a sinner," they said.

⁸ Zacchaeus stood up tall and spoke to Jesus. "Lord, I will give half of everything I own to poor people. If I stole from anyone, I will pay them back four times."

⁹ Jesus said, "Today, God's rescue came to this house! This man is a true son of Abraham."
