19:1	And having entered, he walked through Jericho.
19:2	En kyk, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy.
19:3	And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, as gevolg van die skare, for he was small in stature.
19:4	And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there.
19:5	And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, en hy het vir hom gesê: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. Vir vandag, I should lodge in your house.”
19:6	En haastig, he came down, and he received him joyfully.
19:7	And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man.
19:8	But Zacchaeus, stilstaan, said to the Lord: “Kyk, Here, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.”
19:9	Jesus het vir hom gesê: “Today, salvation has come to this house; as gevolg hiervan, he too is a son of Abraham.
19:10	For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.”
