Luke 19
1 And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho;
2 And behold, [there was] a man named Zaccheus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
and lo! a man, by name called Zacchaeus, and, he, was a chief tax-collector, and [he] was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
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.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore-tree to see him; for he was to pass that [way].
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.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down: for to-day I must abide at thy house.
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.
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 when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying—With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge!
8 And Zaccheus stood, and said to 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] four-fold.
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.
9 And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
And Jesus said unto him—This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come, —for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham;
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.
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.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
He said, therefore—A certain man, of noble birth, went into a country far away, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
And, calling ten servants of his own, he gave unto them ten minas, and said unto them—Do business, till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
But, his citizens, hated him, and sent off an embassy after him, saying—We desire not, this, man, to be made king over us!
15 And it came to pass, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
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.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
And the first came near, saying—Lord! thy mina, hath made, ten minas.
17 And he said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
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.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
And the second came, saying—Thy mina, lord, hath made five minas.
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
And he said, to him also, And, thou, be over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
And, the other, came, saying—Lord, lo! thy mina, which I kept lying by in a napkin;
21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
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!
22 And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest me to be an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
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;
23 Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
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?
24 And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
And, unto the by-standers, he said—Take, from him, the mina, and give unto him that hath, the ten minas; —
25 (And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
And they said to him, Lord! he hath ten minas; —
26 For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.
I tell you—Unto everyone that hath, shall be given, whereas, from him that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken away.
27 But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
But, these mine enemies who desired not that I should be made king over them, bring ye here, and slay them outright before me.
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending towards Jerusalem.
And, having said these things, he was moving on in front, going up into Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he had come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
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,
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against [you]; in which at your entering ye will find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him hither].
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.
31 And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
And, if any one question you—Wherefore are ye loosing him? thus, shall ye say—His Lord, hath, need.
32 And they that were sent, went and found even as he had said to them.
And they who were sent, departing, found as he had said to them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
And, as they were loosing the colt, his lords said unto them—Why are ye loosing the colt?
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
And, they, said—His Lord, hath, need.
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus upon him.
And they brought him unto Jesus; and, throwing their mantles over the colt, they seated Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
And, as he moved along, they were spreading their own mantles in the way.
37 And when he had 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.
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;
38 Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
saying—Blessed is he that cometh… The king! In the name of the Lord! In heaven, peace! And glory in the highest!
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto him—Teacher! rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said to them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
And he answered and said—I tell you—If, these, shall hold their peace, the stones, will cry out.
41 And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
And, when he drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it, saying—
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things [which belong] to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes.
If thou hadst got to know, in this day, even thou, the conditions of peace… But, now, are they hid from thine eyes:
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and encompass thee, and keep thee in on every side,
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, —
44 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.
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.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought,
And, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling;
46 Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.
saying unto them—It is written, And, my house, shall be, a house of prayer; but, ye, have made, it, a den of robbers.
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
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, —
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
and could not find what they might do, for, the people, one and all, were hanging upon him, as they hearkened.
