Luke 19
1 And he entered and passed through Jericho.
Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.
And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.
4 And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].
So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.
5 And when he came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house.
When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”
6 And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.
So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.
7 And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.
And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”
8 But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.
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.”
9 And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.
10 for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
11 But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.
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.
12 He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.
So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.
13 And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.
Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.
But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’
15 And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.
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.
16 And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.
The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’
17 And he said to him, Well [done], thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.
His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18 And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’
19 And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.
And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’
20 And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.
Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.
21 For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.
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.’
22 He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.
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?
23 And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?
Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’
24 And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.
Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25 And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26 For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
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.
27 Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.
And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
28 And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,
30 saying, Go into the village over against [you], in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no [child] of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it [here].
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.
31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.
If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.
“The Lord needs it,” they answered.
35 And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].
Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.
36 And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.
As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.
37 And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,
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:
38 saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
“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 crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”
40 And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
“I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”
41 And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,
As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it
42 saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;
and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side,
For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.
44 and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.
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.”
45 And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,
Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.
46 saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
47 And he was teaching day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.
48 and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.
Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
