Episode Details

As Jesus passes through Jericho, he notices Zacchaeus, a wealthy tax collector who is eager to see Jesus but is despised by others. Jesus calls him by name and chooses to stay at his house, sparking anger in the crowd. In response to this unexpected grace, Zacchaeus repents, offering not only repentance but a desire to restore anyone he has wronged. Jesus declares that salvation has come to his house, affirming that he came to seek and save the lost. The invitation is clear — will we join Jesus in his mission?
