Gospel: Luke 19:1-10
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn't because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
5 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."
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 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."
9 Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."

Wisdom of Solomon 11:22--12:2
11:22 Because the whole world before you is as ‡‡‡ a grain §§§ in a balance,
And as a drop of dew that at morning comes down upon the earth.
23 But you have mercy on all men, because you have power to do all things,
And you overlookest the sins of men to the end they may repent.
24 For you love all things that are,
And abhor none of the things which you did make;
For never would you have formed anything if you did hate it.
25 And how would anything have endured, except you had willed it?
Or that which was not called by you, how would it have been preserved?
26 But you spare all things, because they are your,
O Soverign Lord, you lover of men's * lives;
12:1 For your incorruptible spirit is in all things.
2 Wherefore you convictest by little and little them that * fall from the right way,
And, putting them in remembrance by the very things wherein they sin, do you admonish them,
That escaping from their wickedness they may believe on you, O Lord.
‡‡‡11:22: Gr. that which just turns.
§§§11:22: Gr. from.
*11:26: Or, souls

2 Thessalonians 1:11--2:2
1:11 To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;
12 that the name of our Lord Jesus† may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2:1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you
2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come.
†1:12: TR adds "Christ"
