So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. “Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. In the bible Zacchaeus was a tax collector who became a disciples of Jesus.īeside this, why did Zacchaeus climb a sycamore tree? In Hebrew Baby Names the meaning of the name Zacchaeus is: Clean pure. What does the name Zacchaeus mean? The name Zacchaeus is a Hebrew Baby Names baby name. Zacchaeus also becomes a contrast of character with the Rich Young Ruler (Luke 18:18-23).
The story of Zacchaeus is used by some to illustrate the saying of Jesus: "Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8), because the name Zacchaeus means 'pure'. Likewise, what does the Bible say about Zacchaeus? A Lukan story that many Christian readers are familiar with is that of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10), a rich chief tax-collector who is described as being “short in stature” (19:3). Although not a biblical scholar myself, I have spent a significant amount of time on the study of Luke-Acts.
