Zacchaeus (zaccheus)
He was short, rich, and disliked, and he wanted to see Jesus. Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector in Jericho, ran ahead and climbed a sycomore tree. Jesus looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.” The crowd grumbled that Jesus had gone to be the guest of a sinner. Zacchaeus stood and promised half his goods to the poor and fourfold repayment to anyone he had cheated. Jesus answered, “This day is salvation come to this house,” and said the Son of man came “to seek and to save that which was lost.” It is in Luke 19:1-10.
