In the Tree in Jericho

Zacchaeus was a rich man, but people disliked him because he collected taxes dishonestly. When Jesus passed through Jericho, Zacchaeus longed with all his heart to see Him.

Called by Name

Because he was short, he climbed into a tree. When Jesus reached the spot, He looked up and said to him: “Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.”
