    • Jesus Comes to Zacchaeus’ House

    Zacchaeus (Greek: Ζακχαῖος, Zakchaios; Hebrew: זכי‎‎, "pure", "innocent") was a chief tax-collector at Jericho, mentioned only in the Gospel of Luke. A descendent of Abraham, he was a poster child for Jesus' personal, earthly mission to bring salvation to the lost. Tax collectors were despised as traitors (working for the Roman Empire, not for their Jewish community), and as being corrupt.

    Verse 46

    [Jesus] Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

    Citing: Isaiah 56:7; Jeremiah 7:11
