Luke 19
1 And having entered, he was passing through Jericho.
So he entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
2 And behold, a man called by name, Zacchaeus. And he was a chief tax collector, and this man was rich.
There was a man there, called Zaccheus, who was a chief of the tax- gatherers, and was wealthy.
3 And he sought to see Jesus, who he was. And he was not able because of the crowd, because his stature was small.
And he kept trying to see what sort of a man Jesus was; but he could not see because he was short.
4 And having ran ahead, he climbed up in a sycamore tree so that he might see him, because he was going to pass that one.
So he ran on before him and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him; for he was about to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, after making haste, come down, for today I must lodge at thy house.
As soon as Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Come down quickly, Zaccheus, for today I must stay at your house."
6 And having made haste, he came down and received him, rejoicing.
He made haste to climb down, and receive him joyfully.
7 And all who saw murmured, saying, He went in to relax with a sinful man.
When they all saw it, they began to complain, saying "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 And having stood, Zacchaeus said to the Lord, Behold, half of the things possessed by me, Lord, I give to the poor. And if I defrauded any man of anything, I repay fourfold.
But Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord, "I give half my property to the poor, Lord, and if I have defrauded any man of anything I am restoring it to him fourfold."
9 And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
"Today is salvation come to this house," said Jesus "since Zaccheus here is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save the lost."
11 And as they heard these things, he spoke, adding on a parable because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
As they were listening to his words he added this parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
So he said. "A certain nobleman went abroad to receive for himself royal power and to return.
13 And having called ten of his bondmen, he gave them ten minas and said to them, Do business until I come.
"And he summoned ten slaves of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, "‘Trade with these until I come.’
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy behind him, saying, We do not want this man to reign over us.
"But this fellow citizens hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, ‘We do not wish this man to become our king.’
15 And it came to pass for him to return, having taken the kingdom. And he said for these bondmen to be called to him, to whom he gave the silver, so that he might know what any man gained by trading.
"And upon his return after he had secured the royal power, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he might know what they had gained by trading.
16 And the first came, saying, Lord, thy mina gained ten minas.
"And the first came before him, saying, ‘Master, your pound has made ten pounds.’
17 And he said to him, Well, thou good bondman. Because thou became faithful in the least, be thou having authority over ten cities.
"And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy mina gained five minas.
"And the second came and said, ‘Master, your pound has made five pounds.’
19 And he also said to him, And thou become over five cities.
"Then he said to him also, ‘You shall be over five cities.’
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold thy mina, which I had put away in a napkin.
"And the next came to him and said, ‘Here master is your pound which I was keeping safe in a napkin.
21 For I was afraid of thee because thou are an austere man. Thou take up what thou did not lay down, and reap what thou did not sow.
"‘For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take what you did not sow.’
22 He says to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, thou evil bondman. Thou had known that I am an austere man taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
"He said to him, "‘By your own words I will Judge you, you wicked slave. You knew, did you, that I was a hard man taking up what I did not lay down, reaping what I did not sow.
23 Then why did thou not give my silver into a bank, and having come I would have collected it with interest?
"‘Then why did you not put my money into the bank, so that at my coming I might I might have gotten it back with interest?’
24 And he said to those who stood by, Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.
"Then to those who stood by, he said, ‘Take the pounds from him and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
25 And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
"‘Master,’ they said to him, ‘he already has ten pounds.’
26 For I say to you, that to every man who has, will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
"‘I tell you that to every one who has it shall be given; and from him who has not shall be taken away even what he has.
27 Nevertheless those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them, bring here, and kill them before me.
"‘Howbeit these enemies of mine who were not willing for me to become their King, bring them here, and slay them in my presence.’"
28 And having spoke these things, he went ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
When he had so spoken he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying,
When he was come near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called The Olive Orchard,
30 Go ye into the opposite village, in which, having entered, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Having untied, bring it.
he sent two of his disciples saying. "Go into the village in the front, and on entering it you will find an ass’s colt tied, on which no one has ever ridden.
31 And if any man asks you, Why do ye untie it? Thus ye will say to him, The Lord has need of it.
"Untie it and bring it here. And if any one asks you, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’ Simply say, ‘The Master needs it.’"
32 And having departed, those who were sent found just as he said to them.
Then those who were sent out and found it as he had told them.
33 And as they were untying the colt, the masters of it said to them, Why do ye untie the colt?
For as they were untying the colt, the owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 And they said, The Lord has need of it.
They answered, "The Master needs it."
35 And they brought it to Jesus. And having cast their garments upon the colt, they mounted Jesus.
So they led it to Jesus, and, after throwing their outer garments on the colt, they placed Jesus on it.
36 And as he went, they spread their garments on the road.
So he rode on, while they kept throwing their garments in the way.
37 And as he was now coming near, at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God in a great voice about all the mighty works that they had seen, saying,
And when now he was coming near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God with a loud voice for the almighty works they had seen.
38 Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!
They cried, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven and glory in the Highest"
39 And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
And some of the Pharisees said to them out of the crowd, "Teacher reprove your disciples!"
40 And having answered, he said to them, I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.
"I tell you," he answered, "that if these should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out."
41 And when he came near, having seen the city, he wept over it,
And when he came into view of the city, as he approached it he broke into loud weeping,
42 saying, If thou knew, even thou, indeed even in this thy day, the things for thy peace. But now they are hidden from thine eyes.
exclaiming. "Oh that at this time you knew, yes, even you, on what your peace depends! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 Because the days will come upon thee, and thine enemies will build a barricade around thee, and will surround thee, and enclose thee on every side.
"The time will come for you when your enemies will throw ramparts around you, and encompass you, and shut you in on every side, and raze you to the ground,
44 And they will raze thee and thy children within thee. And they will not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou knew not the time of thy visitation.
"you and your children within you. And they will not leave in you one stone upon the another. Because you knew not the time of your visitation."
45 And having entered into the temple, he began to cast out those selling and buying in it,
Then Jesus went into the Temple and began to drive out dealers,
46 saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye made it a den of robbers.
saying, "It is written, "The house of God shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."
47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scholars sought to destroy him, even the foremost men of the people.
Day after day he continued to teach in the Temple. The high priests and scribes tried to have him put to death, so did the rulers of the people.
48 And they did not find what they might do, for the people all hung upon him, listening.
But they could not find how to do it, for the people all hung upon him, listening to him.
