8 But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.”
And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."

11 As they were listening to these things, continuing on, he spoke a parable, because he was nearing Jerusalem, and because they guessed that the kingdom of God might be manifested without delay.

14 But his citizens hated him. And so they sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this one to reign over us.’
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 And it happened that he returned, having received the kingdom. And he ordered the servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called so that he would know how much each one had earned by doing business.
"It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16 Now the first approached, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned ten pounds.’
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17 And he said to him: ‘Well done, good servant. Since you have been faithful in a small matter, you will hold authority over ten cities.’
"And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 And the second came, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned five pounds.’
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 And he said to him, ‘And so, you shall be over five cities.’
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 And another approached, saying: ‘Lord, behold your one pound, which I kept stored in a cloth.
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.’
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'
22 He said to him: ‘By your own mouth, do I judge you, O wicked servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.
23 And so, why did you not give my money to the bank, so that, upon my return, I might have withdrawn it with interest?’
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 And he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the pound away from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds.’
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 So then, I say to you, that to all who have, it shall be given, and he will have in abundance. And from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
27 ‘Yet truly, as for those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and put them to death before me.’”
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"

saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no one ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
31 And if anyone will ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this to him: ‘Because the Lord has requested its service.’”

saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side.
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,
