Luke 19
1 Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
AND Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he could not do so because of the crowd, for he was a short man.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because Jesus was about to pass by that way.
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and saw him. Then he said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at yoʋr house today.”
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 So he hurried down and received Jesus with joy.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 When all the people saw it, they grumbled, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man.”
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 Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I will pay back four times the amount.”
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 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man has shown 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 save the lost.”
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 Now as the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once.
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 So he said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself and then return.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I return.’
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation 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 When he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out who had gained what by engaging in business.
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 The first came before him and said, ‘Master, yoʋr mina has made ten minas more.’
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 The king said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because yoʋ have been faithful in a very small matter, take 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 The second came and said, ‘Master, yoʋr mina has made five minas.’
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 The king said to him, ‘Yoʋ are to be over five cities.’
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 Another came and said, ‘Master, behold, here is yoʋr mina, which I kept put away in a piece of cloth.
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 yoʋ, because yoʋ are a stern man. Yoʋ take out what yoʋ did not put in, and yoʋ reap what yoʋ did not sow.’
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 The king said to him, ‘I will condemn yoʋ by the words coming out of yoʋr own mouth, yoʋ evil servant. Yoʋ knew, did yoʋ, that I was a stern man, taking out what I did not put in, 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 Why then did yoʋ not deposit my money in the bank, and when I came I would have collected it with interest?’
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24 Then he said to those standing nearby, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has 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 But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas!’
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 The king said, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more, but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
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 as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 After saying these things, Jesus continued on his way up to Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 As he drew near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples ahead,
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 into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
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 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’”
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 So those who were sent went off and found it just as he had told them.
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto 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 unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 They said, “The Lord has need of it.”
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 Then they brought the colt to Jesus, threw their garments over it, and set Jesus on it.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 As he went along, people were spreading their garments on the road.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 And as he drew near to the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles 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 the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, 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 But some of the Pharisees from among the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke yoʋr disciples.”
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 In response he said to them, “I tell you, if they keep silent, 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 As he drew near to Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it,
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 saying, “If only yoʋ had known, especially on this day of yoʋrs what would bring yoʋ peace! But now it is hidden from yoʋr 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 For the days will come upon yoʋ when yoʋr enemies build a barricade around yoʋ and encircle yoʋ, hemming yoʋ in on 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 They will raze yoʋ to the ground, and yoʋr children within yoʋ. They will not leave in yoʋ one stone upon another, because yoʋ did not recognize the time of yoʋr 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 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were selling and buying there.
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you 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 Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him, and so were the prominent leaders among the people.
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 But they could not figure out what to do, for all the people were hanging on his every word as they listened to him.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
