"And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature."

“And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.”
“And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature. ”
“He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn't because of the crowd, because he was short.”
“He was trying to get a look at Jesus, but being a short man he could not see over the crowd.”
“And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.”
“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 Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
And, behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
