² There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

²⁴ Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁵ For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."

²⁶ Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

²⁷ But he said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

⁵ Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance.

⁶ His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
