And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy. - 3 And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature. - 4 And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there. - 5 And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.” - 6 And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully. - 7 And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man. - 8 But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.” - 9 Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham. - 10 For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 19](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/19/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
