Zacchaeus

Facts:

Zacchaeus was a tax collector from Jericho who climbed a tree in order to be able to see Jesus who was surrounded by a large crowd of people.

Zacchaeus was completely changed when he believed in Jesus.
He repented of his sin of cheating people and promised to give half his possessions to the poor.
He also promised that he would pay people back four times the amount that he had overcharged them for their taxes.
