The ''' Call of Zacchaeus ''' refers to an episode in the life of [[Jesus of Nazareth]], as narrated only in the [[Gospel of Luke]] (19:1-10).

==Overview==

[[Zacchaeus]] is mentioned solely in the [[Gospel of Luke]]. When Jesus arrived in [[Jericho]], being short in stature he climbed up a sycamore fig tree so that he might have a better view. Jesus stopped by and addressing Zacchaeus by name asked for his hospitality. Zacchaeus welcomed Jesus and made public repentance for his sins.

Later Christian traditions would identify Zacchaeus as the apostle [[Matthias]] appointed to replace [[Judas Iscariot]] after the death of Jesus, and would make him the first Bishop of [[Caesarea Maritima]].

A medieval legend identified Zacchaeus with Saint [[Amadour]] and held him to be the husband of [[Veronica]] and the founder of the French sanctuary at Rocamadour, where his remains are still venerated (see [[Relics of Zacchaeus]]).

At [[Jericho]] the ruins of a large Crusade tower are traditionally called the House of Zacchaeus, and at least three sycamore trees are showed as the one on which Zacchaeus climbed (see [[Relics of Zacchaeus]]).

==Zacchaeus in ancient sources ==

Luke 19:1-10 (NRSV) -- '' [1] He entered [[Jericho]] and was passing through it. [2] A man was there named [[Zacchaeus]]; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. [3] He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. [4] So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. [5] When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "[[Zacchaeus]], hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today." [6] So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. [7] All who saw it began to grumble and said, "He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner." [8] [[Zacchaeus]] stood there and said to the Lord, "Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much." [9] Then Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a [[son of Abraham]]. [10] For the [[Son of Man]] came to seek out and to save the lost." ''
