Luke 19
1 And he entered and was passing through Jericho.
So he entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
2 And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, 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 crowd, 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 on 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 said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy 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, He is gone in to lodge 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 wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore 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, Today 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 came 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 spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and [because] they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to 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 ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] 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 an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man 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, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they 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 And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.
"And the first came before him, saying, ‘Master, your pound has made ten pounds.’
17 And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou 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, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.
"And the second came and said, ‘Master, your pound has made five pounds.’
19 And he said unto him also, Be thou 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] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
"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 thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
"‘For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take what you did not sow.’
22 He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am 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 then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it 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 away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the 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 hath ten pounds.
"‘Master,’ they said to him, ‘he already has ten pounds.’
26 I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath 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 Howbeit these mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, 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 on before, going up to Jerusalem.
When he had so spoken he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
When he was come near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called The Olive Orchard,
30 saying, Go your way into the village over against [you]; in the which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.
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 one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath 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 away, 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 ye 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 hath need of him.
They answered, "The Master needs it."
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and 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 garments in the way.
So he rode on, while they kept throwing their garments in the way.
37 And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] 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 which 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 [is] the King that cometh 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 the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
And some of the Pharisees said to them out of the crowd, "Teacher reprove your disciples!"
40 And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
"I tell you," he answered, "that if these should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out."
41 And when he drew nigh, he saw 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 thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine 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 thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee 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 dash thee to 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.
"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 entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,
Then Jesus went into the Temple and began to drive out dealers,
46 saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.
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 was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men 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 they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.
But they could not find how to do it, for the people all hung upon him, listening to him.
