Luke 19:5

JesusZacchaeus
GraceJesus Christ

3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.

4 So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”

6 So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.

7 And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”
