< Luke 19 >

1 And having entered, he was passing through Jericho.
Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho,
2 And behold, a man called by name, Zacchaeus. And he was a chief tax collector, and this man was rich.
Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.
3 And he sought to see Jesus, who he was. And he was not able because of the crowd, because his stature 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 ran ahead, he climbed up in a sycamore tree so that he might see him, because he was going to pass that one.
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 when Jesus came to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, after making haste, come down, for today I must lodge at thy house.
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 having made haste, he came down and received him, rejoicing.
Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.
7 And all who saw murmured, saying, He went in to relax with a sinful man.
And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.
8 And having stood, Zacchaeus said to the Lord, Behold, half of the things possessed by me, Lord, I give to the poor. And if I defrauded any man of anything, I repay 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 to him, Today salvation has come to this house, forasmuch 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 that which was lost.
For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.
11 And as they heard these things, he spoke, adding on a parable because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
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 nobleman went into a far country to receive for 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 of his bondmen, he gave them ten minas and said to them, Do business until I come.
And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy behind him, saying, We do not want this man 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 for him to return, having taken the kingdom. And he said for these bondmen to be called to him, to whom he gave the silver, so that he might know what any man gained by trading.
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, saying, Lord, thy mina gained ten minas.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.
17 And he said to him, Well, thou good bondman. Because thou became faithful in the least, be thou 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, Lord, thy mina gained five minas.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.
19 And he also said to him, And thou become over five cities.
And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold thy mina, which I had put 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 are an austere man. Thou take up what thou did not lay down, and reap what thou did 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 He says to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, thou evil bondman. Thou had known 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 Then why did thou not give my silver into a bank, and having come I would have collected it with interest?
Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage?
24 And he said to those who stood by, Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.
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, Lord, he has ten minas.
(And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.)
26 For I say to you, that to every man who has, will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away 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 Nevertheless those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them, bring here, and kill them 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 spoke these things, he went ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.
29 And it came to pass when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying,
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 Go ye into the opposite village, in which, having entered, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Having untied, 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 man asks you, Why do ye untie it? Thus ye will say to him, The Lord has 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 having departed, those who were sent found just as he said to them.
So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them.
33 And as they were untying the colt, the masters of it said to them, Why do ye untie 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 has need of it.
And they sayd, The Lord hath neede of him.
35 And they brought it to Jesus. And having cast their garments upon the colt, they mounted Jesus.
So they brought him to Iesus, and they cast their garments on the colte, and set Iesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread their garments on the road.
And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way.
37 And as he was now coming near, at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God in a great voice about all the mighty works that they had seen, saying,
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 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 commeth in the Name of the Lord: peace in heauen, and glory in the highest places.
39 And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
Then some of the Pharises of the companie sayd vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And having answered, he said to them, I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would 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 near, 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 knew, even thou, indeed even in this thy day, the things for thy peace. But now they are hidden 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 the days will come upon thee, and thine enemies will build a barricade around thee, and will surround thee, and enclose 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 they will raze thee and thy children within thee. And they will not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou knew not the time of thy visitation.
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 out those selling and buying in it,
He went also into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde therein, and them that bought,
46 saying to them, It is 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 scholars sought to destroy him, even the foremost men 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 did not find what they might do, for the people all hung upon him, listening.
But they could not finde what they might doe to him: for all the people hanged vpon him when they heard him.
