[Evangelium] Continuation ++ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke !Luke 19:1-10 At that time, Jesus entered and was passing through Jericho. And behold there~ was a man named Zacchaeus; and he was a leading publican, and he was rich. And~ he was trying to see Jesus, Who He was, but could not, on account of the crowd,~ because he was small of stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a~ sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came~ to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste~ and come down; for I must stay in your house today. And he made haste and came~ down, and welcomed Him joyfully. And upon seeing it all began to murmur, saying,~ He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner. But Zacchaeus stood and~ said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, I give one-half of my possessions to the poor,~ and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold. Jesus said to~ him, Today salvation has come to this house, since he, too, is a son of Abraham.~ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.
