Zacchaeus’s Sycamore Tree


In the middle of the modern downtown Jericho is a large sycamore tree. Tradition says that this is the tree that the Chief Tax Colletor, Zacchaeus, wanted so much to see Jesus that he climbed up such a tree. For whatever reasons, Jesus picked out Zacchaeus and went home with him. That encounter changed Zacchaeus’ life. Where do we find a sycamore tree?
