神父講道 – 香港聖母無原罪主教座堂祝聖紀念(慶日)(週四) (2010年12月9日)

聖路加福音 19:1-10
耶穌進了耶里哥,正經過的時候,有一個人,名叫匝凱,他原是稅吏長,是個富有的人。他想要看看耶穌是什麼人;但由於人多,不能看見,因為他身材短小。於是他往前奔跑,攀上了一棵野桑樹,要看看耶穌,因為耶穌就要從那裏經過。耶穌來到那地方,抬頭一看,對他說:「匝凱,你快下來!因為我今天必須住在你家中。」他便趕快下來,喜悅地款留耶穌。眾人見了,都竊竊私議說:「他竟到有罪的人那裏投宿。」匝凱站起來對主說:「主,你看,我把我財物的一半施捨給窮人;我如果欺騙過誰,我就以四倍賠償。」耶穌對他說:「今天救恩臨到了這一家,因為他也是亞巴郎之子。因為人子來,是為尋找及拯救迷失了的人。」
—基督的福音。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 19:1-10

1 He came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. 2 Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, 3 was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. 5 When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.” 6 And he came down quickly and received him with joy. 7 When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner.” 8 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.” 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
