Jesus and Zacchaeus Excerpt from Luke in the NLT

Luke 19:1–10

New Living Translation

Jesus and Zacchaeus

Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town. 2 There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. 3 He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. 

4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way.

5 When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.”

6 Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. 

7 But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled.

8 Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!”

9 Jesus responded, 

“Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man* came to seek and save those who are lost.”

Excerpt from the New Testament An Expanded Translation The story of Zacchaeus

The story of Zacchaeus 

Luke 19:1–10

And having entered, He was passing through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man called by the name of Zacchaeus. And he himself was the collector of internal revenue for the district, having other tax collectors under his supervision. And he himself was wealthy. And he was endeavoring to see who Jesus was. And he was not able to do so because of the crowd, for he was small as to stature. And having run on ahead, he went up a sycamore tree in order that he might see Him, because He was about to pass through that way. And as He came to the place, Jesus having looked up, said to him, Zacchaeus, hurry, come down at once, for today at your home it is a necessity in the nature of the case for me to be a guest. And he came down in a hurry and welcomed Him as his guest, rejoicing. And having seen this, they all went to grumbling in undertone mutterings with one another, discontentedly complaining, saying that He had gone in to be the house-guest of a man who was a notorious sinner. And Zacchaeus, having come to a standstill, said to the Lord, Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I now give at once to the poor. And since I have wrongfully exacted something from some individual, I now restore at once four times as much. And Jesus said to him, Today Salvation came to this home, because he himself is also a son of Abraham, for the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which has been lost.

The Normal Christian Life Watchman Nee excerpt from Chapter 10

The Normal Christian Life

Watchman Nee

Chapter 10: The Path of Progress: Walking In The Spirit

Coming now to Romans 8 we may first summarize the argument of our second section of the letter from chapter 5:12 to chapter 8:39 in two phrases, each containing a contrast and each marking an aspect of Christian experience. The are: Romans 5:12 to 6:23: ‘In Adam’ and ‘in Christ’. Romans 7:1 to 8:39: ‘In the flesh’ and ‘in the Spirit’.

We need to understand the relationship of these four things. The former two are ‘objective’ and set forth our position, firstly as we were by nature and secondly as we now are by faith in the redemptive work of Christ. The latter two are ‘subjective’ and relate to our walk as a matter of practical experience. Scripture makes it clear that the first two give us only a part of the picture and that the second two are required to complete it. We think it enough to be “in Christ”, but we learn now that we must also walk “in the Spirit” (Rom. 8:9). The frequent occurrence of “the Spirit” in the early part of Romans 8 serves to emphasize this further important lesson of the Christian life.
