Zacchaeus (Greek form of Zaccai) was a Jew and chief among the publicans(Properly called Portitores) and was despised by the Jews.

He believed in Jesus and in the miracles that he performed and his desire to see him more clearly caused him to climb the Sycamore tree. The Lord knew what was in Zacchaeus heart so blessed him and his household. It was deeds like this that caused the Jewish leaders to despise Jesus.

The story of Zacchaeus is related in Luke 19 v1-10.
