Zacchaeus Meets Jesus

Zacchaeus Meets Jesus

A short tax collector climbs a sycamore tree just to see Jesus pass through Jericho — Jesus invites himself over for dinner and absolutely changes the guy's life.

Ministry of JesusNew Testament~29 CE

Zacchaeus is the chief tax collector in Jericho — meaning he's rich AND hated. When Jesus is passing through, the crowd blocks him so he climbs a sycamore tree to see. Jesus stops, looks up, calls him by name, and says 'I'm coming to your house today.' The religious crowd lowkey loses it that Jesus would eat with a sinner. Zacchaeus stands up and pledges to give half his stuff to the poor and pay back anyone he cheated 4x. Jesus declares 'salvation has come to this house today.'

LukeThe Short King, the Side Quest, and the Main Event

Jesus rolls through Jericho, spots a tax collector in a tree, and invites Himself over for dinner. Then He drops a parable about what you do with what God gives you. And THEN He rides into Jerusalem like the King He is. This chapter goes from zero to royal entry real quick.
