2: And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the

chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

The Seeking

press, because he was little of stature.

him: for he was to pass that way.

and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to

day I must abide at thy house.

gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

The New Creation

8: And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the

half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing

from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

The Salvation

house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

The Example

lost.
