Luke 19
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
And Jesus having entred Jericho passed through the city,
2 And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
and behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, who was the chief publican, and very rich.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
And he sought to see Jesus who He was; but he could not for the croud; for 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 got up into a sycamore-tree that he might see Him; for He was to pass by that way.
5 And as he came to the place, looking up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, 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, Zaccheus, make haste and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house.
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
And he made haste and came down, and received Him with joy.
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, He is gone to be guest with a wicked man.
8 And Zacchaeus 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."
But Zaccheus stood up and said unto Jesus, Behold, Lord, the half of my substance I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any one wrongfully, I restore him fourfold.
9 Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
Then said Jesus, This day is salvation come to this house, for 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 Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
And as they listened to these things, He proceeded and spake a parable; because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately be manifested.
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 distant country to receive the investiture of a kingdom and then 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 ten of his servants, and delivered to them ten pounds, and said, Trade with them 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 an embassy 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 when he was returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to be called to him, to whom he had delivered the money, that he might know what use each had made of it.
16 The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
Then came the first and said, Lord, thy pound hath 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 done, thou good servant, as thou hast been faithful in a very little, thou shalt be governor over ten cities.
18 "The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath produced five pounds:
19 "So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
and he said to this likewise, Be thou also over five cities.
20 Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
And another came, and said, Behold, my Lord, thy 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 was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man, who takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst 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.
But he said to him, Out of thy 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 Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
and why then didst thou not put my money into the bank, that when I came I might have received it with interest?
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 away the pound from him, and give it to him that hath the ten pounds.
25 "They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds already: )
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 tell you, that to every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even what he seemingly hath shall be taken away.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
But those mine enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
And when He had said these things, He went forward, going up to Jerusalem.
29 It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
And when He was nigh 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 into the opposite village, in which, at your entring, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever yet sat; loose him and bring him hither.
31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, The Lord hath 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 away and found it as He had told them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
But as they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why do ye untie the colt?
34 They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
and they answered, The Lord hath need of him.
35 They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
And they brought him to Jesus: and throwing their garments upon the colt they set Jesus thereon.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
And as He went along they spread their clothes under Him 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 now come near to the foot of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples rejoicing began to praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

saying, Blessed be the king that cometh 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 thy disciples.
40 He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
And He answered them, I tell you, that if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.
41 When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
And as He drew near, beholding the city, He 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 thou hadst known, even thou, at lest in this thy day, the things relating to thy peace--- but now they are hid from thine 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 upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast up a trench about thee, and surround thee, and keep thee 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 thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou didst not regard the time of thy visitation.

saying unto them, It is written, "my house is the house of prayer: but ye 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 was teaching daily in the temple: but the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy Him;

and could not find how to effect it: for all the people were attentive to hear Him.
