ZACCHAUS
















ZACCHAEUS
A Tax collector And a publican


Luke's account of Jesus' journey through Samaria to Jerusalem (9:51-19:48), on the other hand, contains considerable material not paralleled in either Mark or Matthew. It is primarily this portion (most likely drawn largely from the L source), regarded by many scholars as Luke's special section, that is responsible for the distinctive quality of the Gospel. The uniquely Lukan narratives and sayings found in this section include stories of the sending and return of the 72 disciples (10:1-20), of Martha and Mary (10:38-42), and of the rich tax collector Zacchaeus (19:1-10); and the parables of the good Samaritan (10:29-37), of the lost coin (15:1-10), of the prodigal son (15:11-32), and of Dives (meaning rich man in Latin) and Lazarus (16:19-31). Also included here is Luke's shorter version of the Lord's Prayer, without the doxology found in Matthew 6:9-15, and set in a different context.
Now in the city of jericho

Zacchaeus in his office working,
and the people came to register and pay their taxes
A fisherman came to pay his taxes


An arguement broke up between them
As Jesus passes the croud was just too heavy
So many were with him
When Zacchaeus heard about it
he said to himself
' I must see this Jesus today,
 I must know whom he is
And zacchaeus packed his things and hurried up

to see jesue
The crowd was just too much
as he3 tried to squeeze in
Mr Zacchaeus was just too short
He tried, tried and tried

He tought of what to do

He run to cut over
Alternatively he ran and took
