Luke 19
1 Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho,
AND Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp, and saw him, and said vnto him, Zaccheus, come downe at once: for to day I must abide at thine house.
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 And Zaccheus stood forth, and said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.
And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham.
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare.
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 And it came to passe, when hee was come againe, and had receiued his kingdome, that he commanded the seruants to be called to him, to whome he gaue his money, that he might knowe what euery man had gained.
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities.
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin:
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 For I feared thee, because thou art a straight man: thou takest vp, that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou diddest not sowe.
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22 Then he sayde vnto him, Of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, O euill seruant. Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, and reaping that I did not sowe.
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
23 Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage?
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24 And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces.
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 (And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.)
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him.
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 Moreouer, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to passe, when hee was come neere to Bethphage, and Bethania, besides the mount which is called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples,
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 Saying, Goe ye to the towne which is before you, wherein, assoone as ye are come, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither.
Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 And if any man aske you, why ye loose him, thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him.
And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them.
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
33 And as they were loosing the colte, the owners thereof sayd vnto them, Why loose ye the colte?
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they sayd, The Lord hath neede of him.
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 So they brought him to Iesus, and they cast their garments on the colte, and set Iesus thereon.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 And when he was nowe come neere to the going downe of the mount of Oliues, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce, and to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the great workes that they had seene,
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that commeth in the Name of the Lord: peace in heauen, and glory in the highest places.
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Then some of the Pharises of the companie sayd vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 But he answered, and sayd vnto them, I tell you, that if these should holde their peace, the stones would crie.
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 And when he was come neere, he behelde the Citie, and wept for it,
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, O if thou haddest euen knowen at the least in this thy day those things, which belong vnto thy peace! but nowe are they hid from thine eyes.
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the dayes shall come vpon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compasse thee round, and keepe thee in on euery side,
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 And shall make thee euen with ye ground, and thy children which are in thee, and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone, because thou knewest not that season of thy visitation.
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

46 Saying vnto them, It is written, Mine house is the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 And he taught dayly in the Temple. And the hie Priests and the Scribes, and the chiefe of the people sought to destroy him.
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 But they could not finde what they might doe to him: for all the people hanged vpon him when they heard him.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
