Passage: Luke 19:1-10 - When Jesus passed through Jericho, there was a wealthy tax collector named Zacchaeus who wanted to see him, but he couldn’t see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed up a tree in the direction that Jesus was going. When Jesus reached the spot where Zacchaeus was, he looked up and called him to come down because he wanted to visit him in his house. The people who saw this muttered that Jesus was going to be the guest of a sinner. Then Zacchaeus spoke up and promised that he would give half of what he owned to the poor and that if he ever cheated anyone, he would give them back four times the amount. Then Jesus called Zacchaeus a Son of Abraham.
