1 And he entered and passed through Jericho.
AND entering into Jericho, he passed 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 person whose name was Zaccheus, and he was a principal farmer of the taxes, and the man was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.
And he was desirous to have a sight of Jesus, what sort of person he was; and he could not, because of the crowd, for he was short of 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 running before, he climbed up a sycamore-tree, in order to get a sight of him: for he 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.
And when he was come to the spot, Jesus looking up, saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, come down speedily; for to-day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.
And he hastened to come down, and entertained him gladly.
7 And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.
And when they all saw it, they murmured, saying, That he is gone to lodge with a man, a notorious sinner.
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.
Then Zaccheus standing up, said unto the Lord, Behold, the half of my goods, Lord, I give unto the poor; and if I have got any thing from any man, by laying false informations, I am ready to restore fourfold.
9 And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
Then said Jesus unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, because that he also is a son of Abraham.
10 for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is 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.
And as they were hearkening to these things, he proceeded on, and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and they supposed that immediately the kingdom of God would openly appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.
He said therefore, A certain man of noble family went into a distant region, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.
And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten manehs, and said unto them, Employ yourselves in traffic, till I come back.
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 citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have 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.
And it came to pass, at his return, after receiving the kingdom, that he ordered the servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know what every one had gained by his traffic.
16 And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.
Then came the first, and said, Sir, thy maneh has gained ten manehs.
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.
And he said unto him, Well done, good servant: because thou hast been faithful in the least matter, hold thou dominion over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy maneh hath gained five manehs.
19 And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.
Then said he also to this man, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.
And another came, saying, Master, there is thy maneh, which I have kept wrapt up in a napkin:
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 thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up where thou hadst laid nothing down, and reapest where thou didst 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.
And he said to him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, 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 gavest thou not my money to the bank, so when I came I might have required 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.
And he said to those who stood by, Take from him the maneh, and give it to him who hath the ten manehs.
25 And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
(And they say unto him, Sir, he hath ten manehs.)
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.
For I say unto you, That to every one who hath, shall more be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall 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.
But as for these enemies of mine, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither, and slay them before me.

saying, Go into the opposite village; in which, as ye are at the entrance, ye will find a foal tied, on which no man hath ever yet sat: loose, and bring him.
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.
And if any man ask you, Why ye loose it? thus shall ye say to him, That the Lord hath need of him.
32 And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
Then they who were sent, going, found it just as he had described to them.

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 thee, when thy enemies shall cast up a trench around thee, and encircle thee about, and straiten thee on every side,

and will dash thee on the ground, and thy children within thee; and will not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.
