Luke 19:1-6 God's Word Translation (GW)

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.”

6. Zacchaeus came down and was glad to welcome Jesus into his home.
