Concise Bible Dictionary
:
A chief of the tax-collectors, who, in his anxiety to see
Jesus
, climbed a tree; he was agreeably surprised to hear that Jesus wished to abide at his
house
. On being called a sinner, Zacchæus said “The half of my goods I give to the
poor
; and if I have taken anything from any
man
by false accusation, I restore fourfold,” showing apparently that he had a tender
conscience
and a generous
heart
; but the
Lord
declared that He had brought
salvation
to the house; for though a taxgatherer, he was a
son
of
Abraham
(
