Life
He was first a tax collector and a sinner. But when the Lord saw him in Jericho upon a tree (Luke 19:1-9), He entered his house, which led Zacchaeus to repentance. Later Zacchaeus followed the Apostle Peter, who appointed him bishop in Caesarea of Palestine, where he faithfully served the Gospel and peacefully reposed.
