Luke 19
1 He entered and was passing through Irikhu.
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 And look, there was a man named Zakai. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 He was trying to see who Yeshua was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass 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 as he came to the place, looking up, Yeshua saw him, and said to him, "Zakai, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at your house.
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
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 Zakai stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."
And Zacchaeus stood, and said to 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 Yeshua said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Avraham.
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, as much as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Urishlim, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 "It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
Then came the first, saying, Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.
17 "And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
And he said to him, Well, you good servant: because you have been faithful in a very little, have you authority over ten cities.
18 "The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
And the second came, saying, Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
19 "So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
And he said likewise to him, Be you also over five cities.
20 Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'
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.
22 "He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.
And he says to 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:
23 Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
Why then gave not you my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with usury?
24 He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
25 "They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
(And they said to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.)
26 'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
For I say to you, That to every one which has shall be given; and from him that has not, even that he has shall be taken away from him.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
But those my enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Urishlim.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 It happened, when he drew near to Beth-Pageh and Beth-Naiya, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
And it came to pass, when he was come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no one ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
Saying, Go you into the village over against you; in the which at your entering you shall find a colt tied, where on yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
And if any man ask you, Why do you loose him? thus shall you say to him, Because the Lord has need of him.
32 Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said to them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them, Why loose you the colt?
34 They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
And they said, The Lord has need of him.
35 They brought it to Yeshua. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Yeshua on them.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
And when he was come near, 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 is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke your disciples.
40 He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong to your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.
43 For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
For the days shall come on you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side,
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone on another; because you knew not the time of your visitation.
45 And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46 saying to them, "It is written, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'."
Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves.
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leaders among 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 They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
