New American Bible readings
First reading (Wisdom 3: 1–9)
A reading from the book of Wisdom.
The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace. For if before men, indeed, they be punished, yet is their hope full of immortality; chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace, he proved them, and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself. In the time of their visitation they shall shine, and shall dart about as sparks through stubble; they shall judge nations and rule over peoples, and the LORD shall be their King forever. Those who trust in him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide with him in love: because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is with his elect.
Second reading (Romans 5: 5–11) (Option 1)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: Hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For Christ, while we were still helpless, died at the appointed time for the ungodly. Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person one might even find courage to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. How much more then, since we are now justified by his Blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath. Indeed, if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life. Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Second reading (Romans 6: 3–9) (Option 2)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life. For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection. We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin. For a dead person has been absolved from sin. If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
Gospel (John 6: 37–40)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Jesus said to the crowds: "Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last day."A reading from the book of Wisdom.

Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings
First reading (Wisdom 3: 1–9)
A reading from the book of Wisdom.
The souls of the just are in the hands of God and no torment shall touch them. In the eyes of the unwise, they appear to be dead. Their going is held as a disaster; it seems that they lose everything by departing from us, but they are in peace. Though seemingly they have been punished, immortality was the soul of their hope. After slight affliction will come great blessings, for God has tried them and found them worthy to be with him; after testing them as gold in the furnace, he has accepted them as a holocaust. At the time of his coming, they will shine like sparks that run in the stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their king forever. Those who trust in him will penetrate the truth; those who are faithful will live with him in love, for his grace and mercy are for his chosen ones.
Second reading (Romans 5: 5–11) (Option 1)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Hope does not us because the Holy Spirit has been given to us, pouring into our hearts the love of God. Consider, moreover, the time that Christ died for us: when we were still sinners and unable to do anything. Few would accept to die for an upright person; although, for a very good person, perhaps someone would dare to die. But see how God manifested his love for us: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us and we have become just his blood. With much more reason now he will save us from any condemnation. Once enemies, we have been reconciled with God through the death of his Son; with much more reason now we may be saved through his life. Not only that; we secure in God because of Christ Jesus, our Lord, through whom we have been reconciled.
Second reading (Romans 6: 3–9) (Option 2)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
You know that in baptism which unites us to Christ we are all baptized and plunged into his death. By this baptism in his death, we were buried with Christ and, as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Glory of the Father, so we begin walking in a new life. It was an image of his death when we were grafted in him, and so we will also share in his resurrection. We know that our old self was crucified with Christ, so as to destroy what of us was sin, so that we may no longer serve sin — if we are dead, we are no longer in debt to sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him. We know that Christ, once risen from the dead, will not die again and death has no more dominion over him.
Gospel (John 6: 37–40)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Jesus stated to the Jews: "Yet, all that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me, I shall not turn away. For I have come from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of the One who sent me. And the will of him who sent me is that I lose nothing of what he has given me, but instead that I raise it up on the last day. This is the will of the Father, that whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall live with eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day."

First reading (Wisdom 11:22 – 12:2)
A reading from the book of Wisdom.
Before the LORD the whole universe is as a grain from a balance or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth. But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things; and you overlook people's sins that they may repent. For you love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have made; for what you hated, you would not have fashioned. And how could a thing remain, unless you willed it; or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you? But you spare all things, because they are yours, O LORD and lover of souls, for your imperishable spirit is in all things! Therefore you rebuke offenders little by little, warn them and remind them of the sins they are committing, that they may abandon their wickedness and believe in you, O LORD!
Second reading (2 Thessalonians 1:11 – 2:2)
A reading from the second letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians.

We ask you, brothers and sisters, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling with him, not to be shaken out of your minds suddenly, or to be alarmed either by a "spirit," or by an oral statement, or by a letter allegedly from us to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand.

Gospel (Luke 19: 1–10)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
At that time, Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house." And he came down quickly and received him with joy. When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying, "He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner." But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, "Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost."

First reading (Wisdom 11:22 – 12:2)
A reading from the book of Wisdom.
The entire world lies before you, just enough to tip the scales, a drop of morning dew falling on the ground. But because you are almighty, you are merciful to all; you overlook sins and give your children time to repent. You love everything that exists and hate nothing that you have created; had you hated anything, you would not have formed it. How could anything endure if you did not will it? And how could anything last that you had not willed? You have compassion on all because all is yours, O Lord, lover of life. In fact your immortal spirit is in all. And so by degrees you correct those who sin, you admonish them, reminding them how they have strayed so that turning away from evil, they may trust in you, Lord.
Second reading (2 Thessalonians 1:11 – 2:2)
A reading from the second letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians.
Brothers and sisters: This is why we constantly pray for you; may our God make your worthy of his calling. May he, by his power, fulfill your good purposes and your work prompted by faith. In that way, the name of Jesus our Lord will be glorified through you, and you through him, according to the loving plan of God and of Christ Jesus the Lord. Brothers and sisters, let us speak about the coming of Christ Jesus, our Lord, and our gathering to meet him. Do not be easily unsettled. Do not be alarmed by what a prophet says or by any report, or by some letter said to be ours, saying the day of the Lord is at hand.

He wanted to see what Jesus was like, but he was a short man and could not see because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed up a sycamore tree. From there he would be able to see Jesus who had to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and stated to him, "Zaccheus, come down quickly for I must stay at your house today." So Zaccheus hurried down and received him joyfully. All of the people who saw it began to grumbled and stated, "He has gone to the house of a sinner as a guest." But Zaccheus spoke to Jesus, "The half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay him back four times as much." Looking at him, Jesus stated, "Salvation has come to this house today, for he is also a true son of Abraham. The Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 23) (Verses 1–6)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Or: Though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul.
He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage.
You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come.

ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro de Sabiduría.
Las almas de los justos están en las manos de Dios, y no los afectará ningún tormento. A los ojos de los insensatos parecían muertos; su partida de este mundo fue considerada una desgracia y su alejamiento de nosotros, una completa destrucción; pero ellos están en paz. A los ojos de los hombres, ellos fueron castigados, pero su esperanza estaba colmada de inmortalidad. Por una leve corrección, recibirán grandes beneficios, porque Dios los puso a prueba y los encontró dignos de él. Los probó como oro en el crisol y los aceptó como un holocausto. Por eso brillarán cuando Dios los visite, y se extenderán como chispas por los rastrojos. Juzgarán a las naciones y dominarán a los pueblos, y el Señor será su rey para siempre. Los que confían en él comprenderán la verdad y los que le son fieles permanecerán junto a él en el amor. Porque la gracia y la misericordia son para sus elegidos.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 23) (Versículos 1–6)
La respuesta es: El Señor es mi pastor, nada me puede faltar. Alternativamente, puedes decir también: Aunque cruce por oscuras quebradas, no temeré ningún mal, porque tú está conmigo.
• El Señor es mi pastor, nada me puede faltar. Él me hace descansar en verdes praderas, me conduce a las aguas tranquilas y repara mis fuerzas.
• Me guía por el recto sendero, por amor de su Nombre. Aunque cruce por oscuras quebradas, no temeré ningún mal, porque tú estás conmigo: tu vara y tu bastón me infunden confianza.
• Tú preparas ante mí una mesa, frente a mis enemigos; unges con óleo mi cabeza y mi copa rebosa.
• Tu bondad y tu gracia me acompañan a lo largo de mi vida; y habitaré en la Casa del Señor, por muy largo tiempo.
Segunda lectura (Romanos 5: 5–11) (1ª opción)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
La esperanza no quedará defraudada, porque el amor de Dios ha sido derramado en nuestros corazones por el Espíritu Santo, que nos ha sido dado. En efecto, cuando todavía éramos débiles, Cristo, en el tiempo señalado, murió por los pecadores. Difícilmente se encuentra alguien que dé su vida por un hombre justo; tal vez alguno sea capaz de morir por un bienhechor. Pero la prueba de que Dios nos ama es que Cristo murió por nosotros cuando todavía éramos pecadores. Y ahora que estamos justificados por su sangre, con mayor razón seremos librados por él de la ira de Dios. Porque si siendo enemigos, fuimos reconciliados con Dios por la muerte de su Hijo, mucho más ahora que estamos reconciliados, seremos salvados por su vida. Y esto no es todo: nosotros nos gloriamos en Dios, por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, por quien desde ahora hemos recibido la reconciliación.
Segunda lectura (Romanos 6: 3–9) (2ª opción)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
¿No saben ustedes que todos los que fuimos bautizados en Cristo Jesús, nos hemos sumergido en su muerte? Por el bautismo fuimos sepultados con él en la muerte, para que así como Cristo resucitó por la gloria del Padre, también nosotros llevemos una vida nueva. Porque si nos hemos identificado con Cristo por una muerte semejante a la suya, también nos identificaremos con él en la resurrección. Comprendámoslo: nuestro hombre viejo ha sido crucificado con él, para que fuera destruido este cuerpo de pecado, y así dejáramos de ser esclavos del pecado. Porque el que está muerto, no debe nada al pecado. Pero si hemos muerto con Cristo, creemos que también viviremos con él. Sabemos que Cristo, después de resucitar, no muere más, porque la muerte ya no tiene poder sobre él.

Jesús les dijo a los judíos: “Todo lo que me da el Padre viene a mí, y al que venga a mí yo no lo rechazaré, porque he bajado del cielo, no para hacer mi voluntad, sino la del que me envió. La voluntad del que me ha enviado es que yo no pierda nada de lo que él me dio, sino que lo resucite en el último día. Esta es la voluntad de mi Padre: que el que ve al Hijo y cree en él, tenga Vida eterna y que yo lo resucite en el último día.”

DeleteUnang pagbabasa (Karunungan ni Solomon 3: 1–9)
DeleteAng pagbabasa sa Karunungan ni Solomon.
Ngunit ang mga matuwid ay nasa kamay ng Diyos, at di sila makakaranas ng kaunti mang pahirap. Sa akala ng mga hangal, ang mga matuwid ay namamatay. Iniisip nilang ang kamatayan ay kapahamakan, at ang pagpanaw nila ay tuluyang pagkawala, ngunit ang totoo, sila'y nananahimik na. Bagama't sa tingin ng tao sila'y pinarusahan, ngunit ang totoo, sila'y nasa buhay na walang hanggan. Ang kaunting pagtitiis nila ay tutumbasan ng malaking pagpapala. Napatunayan ng Diyos na sila'y karapat-dapat. Sila'y kanyang sinubok, tulad ng ginto sa tunawan, kaya't sila'y tinanggap niyang parang handog na sinusunog. Darating ang Panginoon upang gantimpalaan ang mga matuwid. Magliliwanag silang parang ningas ng nagliliyab na dayami. Sila ang mamamayani sa mga bansa sa daigdig, at ang Panginoon ang maghahari sa kanila magpakailanman. Ang mga nananalig sa kanya ay makakaunawa sa katotohanan ng kanyang pamamaraan, at ang mga naging tapat sa kanya ay mamumuhay na kasama niya sa kanyang pag-ibig, sapagkat siya'y mabuti at maawain sa kanyang mga hinirang.
Pangalawang pagbabasa (Roma 5: 5–11) (Unang pagpili)
Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Roma.
At hindi tayo binibigo ng pag-asang ito sapagkat ang pag-ibig ng Diyos ay ibinuhos na sa ating mga puso sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo na ipinagkaloob sa atin. Sapagkat noong tayo'y mahihina pa, namatay si Cristo sa takdang panahon para sa mga makasalanan. Mahirap mangyaring ialay ninuman ang kanyang buhay alang-alang sa isang taong matuwid, kahit na maaaring may mangahas na gumawa nito alang-alang sa isang taong mabuti. Ngunit pinatunayan ng Diyos ang kanyang pag-ibig sa atin nang mamatay si Cristo para sa atin noong tayo'y makasalanan pa. Yamang sa pamamagitan ng kanyang dugo, tayo ngayon ay napawalang-sala, lalong tiyak na maliligtas tayo sa poot ng Diyos. Dati, tayo'y mga kaaway ng Diyos, ngunit tinanggap na niya tayo bilang mga kaibigan sa pamamagitan ng pagkamatay ng kanyang Anak. At dahil dito, tiyak na maliligtas tayo sapagkat si Cristo ay buháy. At hindi lamang iyan! Tayo'y nagagalak dahil sa ginawa ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, sapagkat dahil sa kanya ay tinanggap tayo bilang mga kaibigan ng Diyos.
Pangalawang pagbabasa (Roma 6: 3–9) (Pangalawang pagpili)
Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Roma.
Hindi ba ninyo alam na tayong lahat na nabautismuhan kay Cristo Jesus ay nabautismuhan sa kanyang kamatayan? Samakatuwid, tayo'y namatay na at nalibing na kasama niya sa pamamagitan ng bautismo upang kung paanong binuhay muli si Cristo sa pamamagitan ng dakilang kapangyarihan ng Ama, tayo rin ay magkaroon ng panibagong buhay. Sapagkat kung nakasama tayo ni Cristo sa isang kamatayang katulad ng kanyang kamatayan, tiyak na tayo ay makakasama rin niya sa muling pagkabuhay na katulad ng kanyang muling pagkabuhay. Alam natin na ang dati nating pagkatao ay naipako na sa krus kasama niya, upang mamatay ang ating makasalanang pagkatao at nang hindi na tayo maalipin pa ng kasalanan. Sapagkat ang namatay na ay pinalaya mula sa kapangyarihan ng kasalanan. Kung tayo'y namatay nang kasama ni Cristo, naniniwala tayong mabubuhay rin tayong kasama niya. Alam nating si Cristo na muling binuhay ay hindi na muling mamamatay. Wala nang kapangyarihan sa kanya ang kamatayan.
Ebanghelyo (Juan 6: 37–40)
DeleteAng magandang balita ayon kay San Juan.
Sinabi ni Jesus, “Lalapit sa akin ang lahat ng ibinibigay sa akin ng Ama, at hinding-hindi ko itataboy kailanman ang sinumang lumalapit sa akin. Ako'y bumabâ mula sa langit, hindi upang gawin ang sarili kong kalooban, kundi ang kalooban niya na nagsugo sa akin. At ito ang kanyang kalooban: ang huwag kong hayaang mapahamak ang kahit sinuman sa mga ibinigay niya sa akin, kundi ang buhayin ko silang muli sa huling araw. Sapagkat ito ang kalooban ng aking Ama: ang lahat ng nakakakita sa Anak at sumasampalataya sa kanya ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. At sila'y muli kong bubuhayin sa huling araw.”

DeletePrimera lectura (Sabiduría 11:22 – 12:2)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro de la Sabiduría.
El mundo entero es delante de ti como un grano de polvo que apenas inclina la balanza, como una gota de rocío matinal que cae sobre la tierra. Tú te compadeces de todos, porque todo lo puedes, y apartas los ojos de los pecados de los hombres para que ellos se conviertan. Tú amas todo lo que existe y no aborreces nada de lo que has hecho, porque si hubieras odiado algo, no lo habrías creado. ¿Cómo podría subsistir una cosa si tú no quisieras? ¿Cómo se conservaría si no la hubieras llamado? Pero tú eres indulgente con todos, ya que todo es tuyo, Señor que amas la vida, porque tu espíritu incorruptible está en todas las cosas. Por eso reprendes poco a poco a los que caen, y los amonestas recordándoles sus pecados, para que se aparten del mal y crean en ti, Señor.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 145) (Versículos 1–2, 8–11 y 13–14)
La respuesta es: Adoraré tu nombre para siempre, el rey y Dios mío.
• Te alabaré, Dios mío, a ti, el único Rey, y bendeciré tu Nombre eternamente; día tras día te bendeciré, y alabaré tu Nombre sin cesar.
• El Señor es bondadoso y compasivo, lento para enojarse y de gran misericordia; el Señor es bueno con todos y tiene compasión de todas sus criaturas.
• Que todas tus obras te den gracias, Señor, y tus fieles te bendigan; que anuncien la gloria de tu reino y proclamen tu poder.
• Tu reino es un reino eterno, y tu dominio permanece para siempre. El Señor es fiel en todas sus palabras y bondadoso en todas sus acciones. El Señor sostiene a los que caen y endereza a los que están encorvados.
Segunda lectura (2 Tesalonicenses 1:11 – 2:2)
Una lectura de la segunda carta de San Pablo a los Tesalonicenses.
Pensando en esto, rogamos constantemente por ustedes a fin de que Dios los haga dignos de su llamado, y lleve a término en ustedes, con su poder, todo buen propósito y toda acción inspirada en la fe. Así el nombre del Señor Jesús será glorificado en ustedes, y ustedes en él, conforme a la gracia de nuestro Dios y del Señor Jesucristo. Acerca de la Venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y de nuestra reunión con él, les rogamos, hermanos, que no se dejen perturbar fácilmente ni se alarmen, sea por anuncios proféticos, o por palabras o cartas atribuidas a nosotros, que hacen creer que el Día del Señor ya ha llegado.
Evangelio (Lucas 19: 1–10)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Lucas.
Jesús entró en Jericó y atravesaba la ciudad. Allí vivía un hombre muy rico llamado Zaqueo, que era el jefe de los publicanos. Él quería ver quién era Jesús, pero no podía a causa de la multitud, porque era de baja estatura. Entonces se adelantó y subió a un sicomoro para poder verlo, porque iba a pasar por allí. Al llegar a ese lugar, Jesús miró hacia arriba y le dijo: “Zaqueo, baja pronto, porque hoy tengo que alojarme en tu casa.” Zaqueo bajó rápidamente y lo recibió con alegría. Al ver esto, todos murmuraban, diciendo: “Se ha ido a alojar en casa de un pecador.” Pero Zaqueo dijo resueltamente al Señor: “Señor, voy a dar la mitad de mis bienes a los pobres, y si he perjudicado a alguien, le daré cuatro veces más.” Y Jesús le dijo: “Hoy ha llegado la salvación a esta casa, ya que también este hombres es un hijo de Abraham, porque el Hijo del hombre vino a buscar y a salvar lo que estaba perdido.”

Sa iyong paningin, para lamang isang butil ng buhangin na hindi halos makatikwas ng timbangan ang buong daigdig; para lamang isang patak ng hamog sa umaga sa pisngi ng lupa. Labis-labis ang iyong kapangyarihan para gawin ang anuman, ngunit mahabagin ka sa bawat kinapal. Pinatawad mo ang aming mga kasalanan, at binibigyan mo kami ng panahong makapagsisi. Mahal mo ang lahat ng bagay, at wala kang hinahamak sa iyong mga nilalang. Kung hindi gayon, bakit mo pa sila nilikha? Walang anumang bagay na mananatili kung hindi mo kalooban, at walang makapagpapatuloy kung hindi mo nilalang. Ipinahintulot mong manatili ang bawat nilikha sapagkat bawat isa ay sa iyo. Ang lahat ng nabubuhay ay mahal mo, Panginoon. Ang espiritu mong walang kamatayan ay nasa lahat ng bagay, kaya unti-unti mong itinutuwid ang mga nagkakasala. Pinapaalalahanan mo at binabalaan sila sa kanilang mga ginawa, upang iwanan na nila ang kanilang masamang pamumuhay at sa iyo sila manalig, Panginoon.

Dahil dito, lagi namin kayong idinadalangin sa Diyos, na nawa'y maging karapat-dapat kayo sa pagkatawag niya sa inyo. At sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kapangyarihan, nawa'y ipagkaloob niya sa inyo ang lahat ng mabuti ninyong hinahangad, at maging ganap ang inyong mga gawaing ibinunga ng pananampalataya. Sa gayon, mapaparangalan ninyo ang pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesus, at kayo naman ay pararangalan din niya, ayon sa kagandahang-loob ng Diyos at ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. Mga kapatid, tungkol naman sa pagbabalik ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo at sa pagtitipon sa atin upang makapiling niya, nakikiusap kami sa inyo na huwag agad magugulo ang inyong isipan o mababahala kung mabalitaan ninyong dumating na ang Araw ng Panginoon. Huwag kayong maniniwala kahit sabihin pa nilang iyon ay pangangaral o pahayag, o isinulat namin.

Pumasok si Jesus sa Jerico at naglakad sa kabayanan. May isang tao roong ang pangalan ay Zaqueo, isang pinuno ng mga maniningil ng buwis at siya'y mayaman. Sinikap niyang makita si Jesus upang makilala kung sino ito, ngunit sa dami ng tao, hindi niya ito makita dahil siya'y pandak. Kaya't patakbo siyang nauna sa dadaanan ni Jesus at umakyat sa isang puno ng sikamoro. Pagtapat ni Jesus sa lugar na iyon, tumingala siya kay Zaqueo at sinabi, “Zaqueo, bumabâ ka agad sapagkat kailangan kong tumuloy ngayon sa iyong bahay.” Nagmamadaling bumabâ si Zaqueo, at tuwang-tuwang tinanggap si Jesus sa kanyang bahay. Lahat ng nakakita nito ay nagbulung-bulungan. “Nakikituloy siya sa isang makasalanan,” sabi nila. Tumayo si Zaqueo at sinabi niya kay Jesus, “Panginoon, ipamimigay ko po sa mga mahihirap ang kalahati ng aking mga kayamanan. At kung ako'y may nadayang sinuman, isasauli ko ito sa kanya ng maka-apat na beses.” At sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Ang kaligtasan ay dumating ngayon sa sambahayang ito sapagkat anak din ni Abraham ang taong ito. Ang Anak ng Tao ay naparito upang hanapin at iligtas ang naligaw.”
