Zachaeus in the sycamore tree. J-J Tissot

[1] Et ingressus perambulabat Jericho.
And entering in, he walked through Jericho.

[2] Et ecce vir nomine Zachaeus : et hic princeps erat publicanorum, et ipse dives :
And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich.

[3] et quaerebat videre Jesum, quis esset : et non poterat prae turba, quia statura pusillus erat.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.

[4] Et praecurrens ascendit in arborem sycomorum ut videret eum : quia inde erat transiturus.
And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way.

[5] Et cum venisset ad locum, suspiciens Jesus vidit illum, et dixit ad eum : Zachaee, festinans descende : quia hodie in domo tua oportet me manere.
And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.

[6] Et festinans descendit, et excepit illum gaudens.
And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy.

[7] Et cum viderent omnes, murmurabant, dicentes quod ad hominem peccatorem divertisset.
And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.

[8] Stans autem Zachaeus, dixit ad Dominum : Ecce dimidium bonorum meorum, Domine, do pauperibus : et si quid aliquem defraudavi, reddo quadruplum.
But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.

[9] Ait Jesus ad eum : Quia hodie salus domui huic facta est : eo quod et ipse filius sit Abrahae.
Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

[10] Venit enim Filius hominis quaerere, et salvum facere quod perierat.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
