Luke 18:35-43 and 19:1-10

Jericho

Sitting beside the road.

He was begging people for money.

What is happening?

Jesus, the one from Nazareth, is coming here.

He was excited and said, "Jesus, Son of David, please help me!"

They criticized the blind man and told him to be quiet.

He shouted more and more, "Son of David, please help me!"

Jesus stopped there and said, "Bring that man to me!"

What do you want me to do for you?

He said, "Lord, I want to see again."

Jesus said to him, "You can see now. You are healed because you believed."

He followed Jesus, thanking God.

They praised God for what happened.

Zacchaeus

He was a wealthy, very important tax collector and he was short.

He climbed a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus.

He looked up and saw Zacchaeus in the tree. Jesus called him by name and said, “Hurry! Come down! I must stay at your house today."

He hurried and came down from the tree and was happy to have Jesus in his house.

I want to do good. I will give half of my money to the poor. If I have cheated anyone, I will pay them back four times more."

Jesus said, "Today is the day for this family to be saved from sin. Yes, even this tax collector is one of God's chosen people. The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them."
