7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying: He has gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
When the multitude perceived this, they said, murmuring, He is gone to be entertained by a sinner.
8 And Zacchæus stood, and said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken from any one by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
But Zaccheus, presenting himself before Jesus, said, Master, half of my goods I will give to the poor; and if in anything I have wronged any man, I will restore fourfold.

12 He said, therefore: A certain nobleman went into a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
A certain nobleman went abroad to procure for himself the royalty, and then return;
13 And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Engage in trade till I come.
and having called ten of his servants, and delivered to them ten pounds, he said, improve these till I return.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
Now his citizens hated him; and sending an embassy after him, protested, We will not have this man for our king.
15 And it came to pass, that, when he had returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know what each had gained by trading.
When he returned, vested with royal power, he commanded those servants to be called to whom he had committed the money, that he might know what every one had gained.
16 And the first came and said: Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.
Then the first came, and said, My Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.
17 And he said to him: Well done, good servant; because you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.
He answered, Well done, good servant; because you have been faithful in a very small matter, receive the government of ten cities.
18 And the second came and said: Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
And the second who came, said, My Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
19 And he said to him also: And be you over five cities.
He answered, Be you also governor of five cities.
20 And another came and said: Lord, behold your pound, which I have kept laid away in a napkin.
Another came, saying, My Lord, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man; you take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.
for I was afraid of you, because you are a hard master; you exact what you did not give, and reap what you did not sow.
22 Then he said to him: Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a hard man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
He answered, Out of your own mouth, you malignant servant, I will condemn you. Did you know that I am a hard master, exacting what I did not give, and reaping what I did not sow?
23 And why then did you not put my money into the bank, that, when I came, I could have collected it with interest?
Why, then, did you not put my money into the bank; that at my return I might have received it with interest?
24 And he said to those who stood by: Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
Then he said to his attendants, Take the pound from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.
25 And they said to him: Lord, he has ten pounds.
They answered, My Lord, he has ten pounds.
26 For I say to you, To every one that has, it shall be given; but from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken away.
He replied, I tell you, that to every one who has, more shall be given; but from him who has not, even that which he has shall be taken.
27 But those who are my enemies, who were not willing that I should rule over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
But as for those my enemies, who would not have me for their king, bring them hither, and slay them in my presence.

saying, Go to yonder village, where, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever rode; loose him, and bring him.
31 And if any one ask you why you loose him, thus shall you say to him: The Lord has need of him.
If any one ask you why you loose him, you shall answer, Because the Master needs him.
32 And those who were sent, went, and found as he had said to them.
Accordingly, they who received this order, went, and found everything as he had told them.

saying, O that thou hadst known, at least in this thy day, the things which concern thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes:
43 For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies will throw up a mound about thee, and inclose thee around, and keep thee in on every side,
for the days are coming upon thee, when thine enemies will surround thee with a rampart, and inclose thee, and shut thee up on every side;
44 and will destroy thee and thy children within thee, and will not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
and will level thee with the ground, thee and thy children, and will not leave one stone upon another, because thou didst not know the time when thou wast visited.
