Zacchaeus — An Encounter That Changes a Life

New Testament and Gospels · 2:05 · Free

Zacchaeus climbs a sycamore tree to see Jesus. The encounter that follows changes his life. A Gospel story of mercy, conversion and a new beginning.

Zacchaeus, a wealthy chief tax collector in Jericho, wants to see Jesus, but the crowd blocks his view. He climbs a sycamore tree, and Jesus stops, calls him by name and announces that he will visit his home. While others grumble, Zacchaeus decides to give half his possessions to the poor and repay fourfold anyone he has cheated. The story reminds us that an encounter with mercy can open the way to conversion, making amends and a new beginning.
