2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
And, behold, there was a man called Zacchæus, who was a chief publican; and he was rich.
3 He was trying to see who Yeshua was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
And he sought to see Jesus, who he was, and was not able on account of the multitude, because he was of small stature.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
And he ran before, and climbed up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him, for he was about to pass that way.

8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, 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 Zacchæus stood, and said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken from any one 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 Abraham.

18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
And the second came and said: Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
And he said to him also: And be you over five cities.
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
And another came and said: Lord, behold your pound, which I have kept laid away in a napkin.
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man; you take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.

23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’

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 those who 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!’

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 will come upon thee, when thy enemies will throw up a mound about thee, and inclose thee around, and keep thee in on every side,
