2 Et voici, un homme riche, appelé Zachée, chef des publicains, cherchait à voir qui était Jésus;

3 mais il ne pouvait y parvenir, à cause de la foule, car il était de petite taille.

4 Il courut en avant, et monta sur un sycomore pour le voir, parce qu’il devait passer par là.

5 Lorsque Jésus fut arrivé à cet endroit, il leva les yeux et lui dit: Zachée, hâte-toi de descendre; car il faut que je demeure aujourd’hui dans ta maison.

6 Zachée se hâta de descendre, et le reçut avec joie.
