Jesus was going through the city of Jericho.A man was there named Zacchaeus, who was a very important tax collector, and he was wealthy.He wanted to see who Jesus was, but he was not able because he was too short to see above the crowd.He ran ahead to a place where Jesus would come, and he climbed a sycamore tree so he could see him.When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to him,“Zacchaeus, hurry and come down! I must stay at your house today.” Luke 19:1-5 (New Century)

Zacchaeus came down quickly and welcomed him gladly.All the people saw this and began to complain, “Jesus is staying with a sinner!” Luke 19:6-7 (New Century)
But when the teachers of religious law who were Phariseessaw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum?”When Jesus heard this, he told them,“Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Mark 2:16-17 (New Living)
