Luke 19
1 And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho;
AND Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 and lo! a man, by name called Zacchaeus, and, he, was a chief tax-collector, and [he] was rich.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he was seeking to see Jesus, what sort of man he was, and could not for the multitude, because, in stature, he was, small.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 And, running forward unto the front, he got up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him; for, by that way, was he about to pass.
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 up to the place, looking up, Jesus said unto him—Zacchaeus! make haste, and come down; For, to-day, in thy house, I must needs abide.
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 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying—With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge!
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 But, taking his stand, Zacchaeus said unto the Lord—Lo! the half of my possessions, Lord, unto the destitute, I give; and, if, from anyone, I have taken aught by false accusation, I give back fourfold.
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 And Jesus said unto him—This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come, —for that, he too, is, a son 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 Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 And, because they were hearing these things, he added and spake a parable, because of his being near Jerusalem, and their supposing that, instantly, was the kingdom of God to shine forth.
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 said, therefore—A certain man, of noble birth, went into a country far away, 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 And, calling ten servants of his own, he gave unto them ten minas, and said unto them—Do business, till I come.
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 But, his citizens, hated him, and sent off an embassy after him, saying—We desire not, this, man, to be made king 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 And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he bade be called unto him these servants, to whom he had given the silver, that he might take note, what business they had done.
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 And the first came near, saying—Lord! thy mina, hath made, ten minas.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 And he said to him—Well done! good servant. Because, in a very small thing, thou hast been, faithful, have thou authority over, 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—Thy mina, lord, hath made five minas.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 And he said, to him also, And, thou, be over five cities.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And, the other, came, saying—Lord, lo! thy mina, which I kept lying by 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 was afraid of thee, because, a harsh man, thou art, —Thou takest up, what thou layedst not down, and reapest, what thou sowedst not!
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 He saith to him—Out of thy mouth, do I judge thee, O wicked servant! Thou knewest that, I, a harsh man, am, —taking up, what I laid not down, and reaping, what I did not sow;
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, didst thou not place my silver upon a [money-changer’s] table, and, I, when I came, with interest might have exacted it?
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24 And, unto the by-standers, he said—Take, from him, the mina, and give unto him that hath, the ten minas; —
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 said to him, Lord! he hath ten minas; —
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 I tell you—Unto everyone that hath, shall be given, whereas, from him that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken away.
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 But, these mine enemies who desired not that I should be made king over them, bring ye here, and slay them outright before me.
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 And, having said these things, he was moving on in front, going up into Jerusalem.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, as he drew near unto Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount which is called the Mount of Olives, he sent off 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—Go your way unto the opposite village, in which, as ye are entering, ye shall find a colt, bound, whereon, no man, hath, ever sat, —and, having loosed him, bring him.
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 one question you—Wherefore are ye loosing him? thus, shall ye say—His Lord, hath, need.
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 And they who were sent, departing, found as he had said to 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 colt, his lords said unto them—Why are ye loosing the colt?
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And, they, said—His Lord, hath, need.
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 And they brought him unto Jesus; and, throwing their mantles over the colt, they seated Jesus thereon.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 And, as he moved along, they were spreading their own mantles in the way.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 And, when he was drawing near, already, unto the descent of the Mount of Olives, one-and-all the throng of the disciples began joyfully to be praising God with a loud voice, concerning all the mighty works which they had seen;
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 is he that cometh… The king! In the name of the Lord! In heaven, peace! And glory in the highest!
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto him—Teacher! rebuke thy disciples.
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said—I tell you—If, these, shall hold their peace, the stones, will cry out.
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 drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it, saying—
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 If thou hadst got to know, in this day, even thou, the conditions of peace… But, now, 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 Because days will have come upon thee, that thine enemies will throw around a rampart against thee, and enclose thee; and hem thee in from every 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 will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee, and will not leave, stone on stone, within thee: because thou didst not get to know the 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.
45 And, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling;
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
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 unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 And he was teaching day by day in the temple; but, the High-priests and the Scribes, also the chiefs of the people, were seeking 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 and could not find what they might do, for, the people, one and all, were hanging upon him, as they hearkened.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
