Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

0:12.9

In Luke's account, Jesus hasn't yet entered Jerusalem for the Passover celebration,

0:17.3

so you'll just have to do a little time travel in your head to a few days ago.

0:20.4

He's on his way to Jerusalem, and he's passing through Jericho, which is about 10 miles to the

0:24.4

northeast. It's called the City of Palms, and when you pass it in the desert, it looks like an

0:29.3

oasis. It's also considered to be possibly the oldest city in the world. There's a big

have a tangible, real need, but for a wealthy businessman to be curious about Jesus is a different

1:07.4

thing altogether. He's so intrigued that he climbs a tree to see Jesus.

1:12.7

What do you think prompts a person like Zacchaeus to have curiosity like that?

1:17.0

Jesus looks up at him, calls him by his name, and is like,

1:21.1

I'm coming for dinner tonight.

1:22.4

I hope you have dried figs and chicken minis in the pantry somewhere.

1:25.6

While the very act of inviting himself to dinner anywhere

1:28.0

might shock some people, the locals are more shocked that he wants to eat with Zakias at all. He's a sinner.
