And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
Zaqueo se puso de pie y le dijo a Jesús: 'Señor, voy a dar la mitad de todo lo que tengo a los pobres. Y si le he robado dinero a alguien, le voy a devolver cuatro veces lo que le quité.'
Zaqueo decidió dar generosamente a los pobres y restituir abundantemente a quienes había defraudado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Gospel of Luke, Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector in Jericho who had grown wealthy by collecting taxes for the Roman Empire, a role that often involved overcharging and exploiting his fellow Jews, making him an outcast in his community. When Jesus passed through Jericho, Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore tree to see him, and Jesus unexpectedly invited himself to Zacchaeus's house, which highlighted Jesus' mission to reach out to sinners. This encounter led Zacchaeus to publicly declare his repentance and commitment to make amends.
