This person shows up in Luke 19:2: “There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Luke 19:2
“There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.”
