Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.

And he hurried and came down and received Him gladly.

8 Y Zaqueo, puesto en pie, dijo al Señor: He aquí, Señor, la mitad de mis bienes daré a los pobres, y si en algo he defraudado a alguno, se lo restituiré cuadruplicado.

Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much.”

9 Y Jesús le dijo: Hoy ha venido la salvación a esta casa, ya que él también es hijo de Abraham;

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.
