Luke 19
1 Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,
2 And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.
and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich,
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.
and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.
and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see him, because through that [way] he was about to pass by.
5 When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”
And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, 'Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;'
6 So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.
and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;
7 And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”
and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying — 'With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”
And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, 'Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'
9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.
And Jesus said unto him — 'To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'
11 While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.
And while they are hearing these things, having added he spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest.
12 So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.
He said therefore, 'A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,
13 Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.
and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them ten pounds, and said unto them, Do business — till I come;
14 But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’
and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.
15 When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.
'And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business.
16 The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’
'And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds;
17 His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.
18 The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’
'And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds;
19 And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’
and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.
20 Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.
'And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’
for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22 His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
'And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
23 Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’
and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?
24 Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
'And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds —
25 ‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
(and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) —
26 He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,
27 And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'
28 After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,
And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring [it];
31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose [it]? thus ye shall say to him — The Lord hath need of it.'
32 So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.
And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, 'Why loose ye the colt?'
34 “The Lord needs it,” they answered.
and they said, 'The Lord hath need of it;'
35 Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.
and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.
36 As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.
And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,
37 And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:
and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty 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!”
saying, 'blessed [is] he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'
39 But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”
And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, 'Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;'
40 “I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”
and he answering said to them, 'I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!'
41 As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it
And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it,
42 and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
saying — 'If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.
'Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee on every side,
44 They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.'
45 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.
And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,
46 He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
saying to them, 'It hath been written, My house is a house of prayer — but ye made it a den of robbers.'
47 Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.
And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him — also the chiefs of the people —
48 Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.
