"A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,"
— Luke 19:2, Bible in Basic English
“Now a man named Zacchaeus was there; he was a chief tax collector and was rich.”
And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it,
A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,
Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.
And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.
And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.
