Zacchaeus, the tax collector. - - Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho - Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house” So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully and he repented and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold” (Luke 19:8) - Bible Clip Arts from NHP.

زكا العشار - كان السيد المسيح مجتازاً في أريحا، وكان هناك رجل قصير القامة يدعى زكا كان يعمل رئيساً للعشارين. أراد هذا الرجل أن يرى يسوع فتسلق شجرة وجلس عليها ليرى يسوع. وعندما رآه يسوع دعاه لينزل لأنه سيمكث في بيته في ذلك اليوم. فرح زكا جداً بدعوة يسوع وتاب قائلاً: "ها أنا يا رب أعطي نصف أموالي للمساكين، وإن كنت قد وشيت بأحد أرد أربعة أضعاف" (إنجيل لوقا 19: 8) - صور الإنجيل من إن إتش بي.
