1Jesus was going through Jericho,
2where a man named Zacchaeus lived. He was in charge of collecting taxes and was very rich.
3-4Jesus was heading his way, and Zacchaeus wanted to see what he was like. But Zacchaeus was a short man and could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree.
5When Jesus got there, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down! I want to stay with you today.”
6Zacchaeus hurried down and gladly welcomed Jesus.
7Everyone who saw this started grumbling, “This man Zacchaeus is a sinner! And Jesus is going home to eat with him.”
8Later that day Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “I will give half of my property to the poor. And I will now pay back four times as much to everyone I have ever cheated.”
9Jesus said to Zacchaeus, “Today you and your family have been saved, because you are a true son of Abraham.

32They went off and found everything just as Jesus had said.
33While they were untying the donkey, its owners asked, “Why are you doing that?”
34They answered, “The Lord needs it.”
35Then they led the donkey to Jesus. They put some of their clothes on its back and helped Jesus get on.
36And as he rode along, the people spread clothes on the road in front of him.
37When Jesus started down the Mount of Olives, his large crowd of disciples were happy and praised God because of all the miracles they had seen.

47 Lk 21.37. Each day, Jesus kept on teaching in the temple. So the chief priests, the teachers of the Law of Moses, and some other important people tried to have him killed.
48But they could not find a way to do it, because everyone else was eager to listen to him.
