Zacchaeus was a tax-collector who lived in Jericho and was visited and transformed by Jesus.
Zacchaeus was a chief tax-gatherer (publicanus) at Jericho (Luke 19:1-10). Being a short man, he arrived before the crowd who were later to meet with Jesus as he passed through Jericho on his way to Jerusalem. The tax collector climbed up a sycomore tree so that he might be able to see him. When Christ reached the spot he looked up into the branches, addressed Zacchaeus by name, and told him to come down. Jesus told the man, who was a hated tax collector, that he intended to visit his house. The crowd was shocked that Christ would be the guest of a tax collector.
