GOSPEL
“The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost” (Luke 19:1-10)
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke
At that time,
having entered the city of Jericho, Jesus was passing through it.
Now there was a man named Zacchaeus;
he was the chief tax collector,
and he was a rich person.
He was trying to see who Jesus was,
but he couldn't because of the crowd,
because he was small.
So he ran ahead
and climbed a sycamore tree
to see Jesus who was going to pass by.
When Jesus came to the place,
he looked up and said to him,
“Zacchaeus, come down quickly;
today I must go and stay in your house. »
Quickly, he went down
and received Jesus with joy.
Seeing this, everyone complained:
“He went to stay with a man who is a sinner. »
Zacchaeus, standing, addressed the Lord:
“Behold, Lord:
I give half of my possessions to the poor,
and if I have wronged anyone,
I will repay him four times as much. »
Then Jesus said about him:
“Today salvation has come to this house,
because he also is a son of Abraham.
Indeed, the Son of Man came to seek and save
that which was lost. »
– Let us acclaim the Word of God.
