Lukas 19,2
1 Jesus kom inn i Jeriko og fortsatte på sin vei gjennom byen.
Der var det en mann ved navn Sakkeus; han var en overtoller og var rik.
3 Han forsøkte å se hvem Jesus var, men han kunne ikke på grunn av folkemengden, for han var liten av vekst.
4 Så han løp i forveien og klatret opp i et morbærtre for å se ham, siden Jesus var på vei forbi der.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
