Todays stories about Zacchaeus. He was
a mean little tax collector.
Zacchaeus was the cheif tax collector.
He was in charge of the other tax collectors.
I was wondering if I could get a discount...
see...
I need to get a new hat and...
No.
What?
No discount. You should have taken better care of that hat so you wouldn't
need a new one.
As you can see
Zacchaeus was a hated man, like the other tax collectors,
but he was very rich.
One day Jesus was passing through Jericho
the town where Zacchaeus lived
Here you go, it's all there.
where are you go?
I've got to count it first.
One..
Two...
Three... Four...
Could you go a little faster? Jesus is coming!
Jesus?
Jesus who? Jesus! The son of God! The king of the Jews!
Ok ok.
People! move quickly Jesus is coming!
Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus
so he headed to where Jesus would be passing by.
Zacchaeus was short, so he could not see over the people.
Zacchaeus was short, so he could not see over the people...
so he climbed up a sycamore tree.
...so he climbed up a sycamore tree.
As Jesus passed by the sycamore tree he looked up.
Zacchaeus, I'm going to your house today.
The people couldn't understand why Jesus would want to go to
a sinners house.
To them he was a mean man and a sinner.
Why would Jesus want to go to a sinners house?
Jesus wanted to see people saved.
Mm, My house? Your coming to my house?
Jesus! He's coming to my house! Jesus! He's coming to my house! Yahoo!
Jesus, I've cheated people from all the money I've gotten...
...but I'll give half of it to the poor and anyone I've cheated, I'll get back
four times as much as i have cheated them.
Today, you will be saved.
The next day
Zacchaeus did just as he said. He gave back the money he owed to everyone... plus more
Zacchaeus did just as he said. He gave back the money he owed to everyone... plus more

No, I've got something for you.
Here, take this. What's this?
You need a new hat don't you?
Thank you thank you thank you.
