Gospel according to Luke

For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."

They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn't understand the things that were said.

It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.

Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

He cried out, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"

Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"

Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,

"What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."

Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."

Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

He entered and was passing through Jericho.

There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn't because of the crowd, because he was short.

He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.

When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."

Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."
