Luke 19
1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
So he entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
There was a man there, called Zaccheus, who was a chief of the tax- gatherers, and was wealthy.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
And he kept trying to see what sort of a man Jesus was; but he could not see because he was short.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
So he ran on before him and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him; for he was about to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; in order to day I must abide at your house.
As soon as Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Come down quickly, Zaccheus, for today I must stay at your house."
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
He made haste to climb down, and receive him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
When they all saw it, they began to complain, saying "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 And Zacchaeus 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.
But Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord, "I give half my property to the poor, Lord, and if I have defrauded any man of anything I am restoring it to him fourfold."
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
"Today is salvation come to this house," said Jesus "since Zaccheus here is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save the lost."
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
As they were listening to his words he added this parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
So he said. "A certain nobleman went abroad to receive for himself royal power and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
"And he summoned ten slaves of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, "‘Trade with these until I come.’
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
"But this fellow citizens hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, ‘We do not wish this man to become our king.’
15 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.
"And upon his return after he had secured the royal power, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he might know what they had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.
"And the first came before him, saying, ‘Master, your pound has made ten pounds.’
17 And he said unto him, Well, you good servant: because you have been faithful in a very little, have you authority over ten cities.
"And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
"And the second came and said, ‘Master, your pound has made five pounds.’
19 And he said likewise to him, Be you also over five cities.
"Then he said to him also, ‘You shall be over five cities.’
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a cloth:
"And the next came to him and said, ‘Here master is your pound which I was keeping safe in a napkin.
21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man: you take up that you layed not down, and reap that you did not sow.
"‘For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take what you did not sow.’
22 And he says unto him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
"He said to him, "‘By your own words I will Judge you, you wicked slave. You knew, did you, that I was a hard man taking up what I did not lay down, reaping what I did not sow.
23 Wherefore then gave not you my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with interest?
"‘Then why did you not put my money into the bank, so that at my coming I might I might have gotten it back with interest?’
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
"Then to those who stood by, he said, ‘Take the pounds from him and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he has ten pounds.)
"‘Master,’ they said to him, ‘he already has ten pounds.’
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which has shall be given; and from him that has not, even that he has shall be taken away from him.
"‘I tell you that to every one who has it shall be given; and from him who has not shall be taken away even what he has.
27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.
"‘Howbeit these enemies of mine who were not willing for me to become their King, bring them here, and slay them in my presence.’"
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
When he had so spoken he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 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,
When he was come near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called The Olive Orchard,
30 Saying, Go all of you into the village opposite to you; in the which at your entering all of you shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
he sent two of his disciples saying. "Go into the village in the front, and on entering it you will find an ass’s colt tied, on which no one has ever ridden.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do all of you loose him? thus shall all of you say unto him, Because the Lord has need of him.
"Untie it and bring it here. And if any one asks you, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’ Simply say, ‘The Master needs it.’"
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
Then those who were sent out and found it as he had told them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose all of you the colt?
For as they were untying the colt, the owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 And they said, The Lord has need of him.
They answered, "The Master needs it."
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
So they led it to Jesus, and, after throwing their outer garments on the colt, they placed Jesus on it.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
So he rode on, while they kept throwing their garments in the way.
37 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;
And when now he was coming near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God with a loud voice for the almighty works they had seen.
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
They cried, "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 among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke your disciples.
And some of the Pharisees said to them out of the crowd, "Teacher reprove your disciples!"
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
"I tell you," he answered, "that if these should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out."
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
And when he came into view of the city, as he approached it he broke into loud weeping,
42 Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.
exclaiming. "Oh that at this time you knew, yes, even you, on what your peace depends! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side,
"The time will come for you when your enemies will throw ramparts around you, and encompass you, and shut you in on every side, and raze you to the ground,
44 And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another; because you knew not the time of your visitation.
"you and your children within you. And they will not leave in you one stone upon the another. Because you knew not the time of your visitation."
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
Then Jesus went into the Temple and began to drive out dealers,
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but all of you have made it a den of thieves.
saying, "It is written, "The house of God shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
Day after day he continued to teach in the Temple. The high priests and scribes tried to have him put to death, so did the rulers of the people.
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
But they could not find how to do it, for the people all hung upon him, listening to him.
