Luke 19
1 And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,
Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho,
2 and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich,
Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.
3 and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,
And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature.
4 and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see him, because through that [way] he was about to pass by.
Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.
5 And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, 'Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;'
And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp, and saw him, and said vnto him, Zaccheus, come downe at once: for to day I must abide at thine house.
6 and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;
Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.
7 and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying — 'With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'
And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.
8 And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, 'Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'
And Zaccheus stood forth, and said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.
9 And Jesus said unto him — 'To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham.
10 for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'
For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.
11 And while they are hearing these things, having added he spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest.
And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare.
12 He said therefore, 'A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,
He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.
13 and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them ten pounds, and said unto them, Do business — till I come;
And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.
14 and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.
Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.
15 'And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business.
And it came to passe, when hee was come againe, and had receiued his kingdome, that he commanded the seruants to be called to him, to whome he gaue his money, that he might knowe what euery man had gained.
16 'And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds;
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.
17 and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.
And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities.
18 'And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds;
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.
19 and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.
And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.
20 'And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;
So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin:
21 for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
For I feared thee, because thou art a straight man: thou takest vp, that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou diddest not sowe.
22 'And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
Then he sayde vnto him, Of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, O euill seruant. Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, and reaping that I did not sowe.
23 and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?
Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage?
24 'And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds —
And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces.
25 (and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) —
(And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.)
26 for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,
For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him.
27 but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'
Moreouer, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.
29 And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
And it came to passe, when hee was come neere to Bethphage, and Bethania, besides the mount which is called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples,
30 having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring [it];
Saying, Goe ye to the towne which is before you, wherein, assoone as ye are come, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose [it]? thus ye shall say to him — The Lord hath need of it.'
And if any man aske you, why ye loose him, thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him.
32 And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,
So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them.
33 and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, 'Why loose ye the colt?'
And as they were loosing the colte, the owners thereof sayd vnto them, Why loose ye the colte?
34 and they said, 'The Lord hath need of it;'
And they sayd, The Lord hath neede of him.
35 and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.
So they brought him to Iesus, and they cast their garments on the colte, and set Iesus thereon.
36 And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,
And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way.
37 and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,
And when he was nowe come neere to the going downe of the mount of Oliues, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce, and to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the great workes that they had seene,
38 saying, 'blessed [is] he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'
Saying, Blessed be the King that commeth in the Name of the Lord: peace in heauen, and glory in the highest places.
39 And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, 'Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;'
Then some of the Pharises of the companie sayd vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 and he answering said to them, 'I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!'
But he answered, and sayd vnto them, I tell you, that if these should holde their peace, the stones would crie.
41 And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it,
And when he was come neere, he behelde the Citie, and wept for it,
42 saying — 'If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes.
Saying, O if thou haddest euen knowen at the least in this thy day those things, which belong vnto thy peace! but nowe are they hid from thine eyes.
43 'Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee on every side,
For the dayes shall come vpon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compasse thee round, and keepe thee in on euery side,
44 and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.'
And shall make thee euen with ye ground, and thy children which are in thee, and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone, because thou knewest not that season of thy visitation.
45 And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,
He went also into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde therein, and them that bought,
46 saying to them, 'It hath been written, My house is a house of prayer — but ye made it a den of robbers.'
Saying vnto them, It is written, Mine house is the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.
47 And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him — also the chiefs of the people —
And he taught dayly in the Temple. And the hie Priests and the Scribes, and the chiefe of the people sought to destroy him.
48 and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.
But they could not finde what they might doe to him: for all the people hanged vpon him when they heard him.
