large crowds met him everywhere.

People were asking Him to show them the way to salvation

and to teach them more about the kingdom of God.

This man really is a prophet.

My Lord and Master, save me!

Oh Lord, save us! Save us!

Praise the Lord!

Show us the true way, Lord!

That's the tax collector!

The people were beginning to accept Him as Lord and Master

In Jericho there was a tax collector named Zacchaeus.

He wanted to see Jesus so much that

he climbed a tree to get above the crowd.

Hurry down, Zacchaeus.

For I must stay in your house today.

My house?

Who'd want to stay in his house?

How does Zacchaeus know Jesus?

Listen.

I give half of my belongings to the poor,

and if I have cheated anyone,

I will pay him back four times as much!

I don't believe it! A tax collector paying back his taxes! Impossible!

Salvation has come to this house today.

For this man also is a descendent of Abraham!

The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
