The Gospel According to the Son
“As I walked, my limbs ached. At night I had no rest that was without pain. And it was the same on the second morning.
By evening, still a full day's march from Jerusalem, we passed through Jericho and there a rich man named Zacchaeus wished to welcome me. Many were in the throng, however, and he was a small man; therefore he had climbed to the top of a sycamore so that we could see him.
I said: "Zacchaeus, come down. Tonight I will stay at your house." He received me joyfully. Others sa...id that it was not fitting that I should be the guest of the wealthiest publican in Jericho. But Zacchaeus said: "Lord, now that I know you, half of my goods I will give to the poor." I was gladdened. For if a rich man could surrender half of his fortune because he believed in me, then there might be walls ready to fall in Jerusalem. I slept well that second night in the house of Zacchaeus.
Next morning as we set out, two sisters of my follower Lazarus came to meet us.MoreLess
