Luke 19:3 in Context — Luke 19
1 Y HABIENDO entrado [Jesús], iba pasando por Jericó;
2 Y he aquí un varón llamado Zaqueo, el cual era el principal de los publicanos, y era rico;
3 Y procuraba ver á Jesús quién fuese; mas no podía á causa de la multitud, porque era pequeño de estatura.
4 Y corriendo delante, subióse á un árbol sicómoro para verle; porque había de pasar por allí.
5 Y como vino á aquel lugar Jesús, mirando, le vió, y díjole: Zaqueo, date priesa, desciende, porque hoy es necesario que pose en tu casa.
