Zacchaeus receives Jesus
Passing through Jericho, Jesus called a wealthy chief tax collector named Zacchaeus down from a sycamore tree and stayed at his house, to the crowd's disapproval. Zacchaeus pledged half his goods to the poor and fourfold restitution to anyone he had cheated, and Jesus declared that salvation had come to his house.

The triumphal entry

Matthew and John say this fulfilled Zechariah's picture of a humble king on a donkey.
