Luke 19
1 Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho,
And he entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.
And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.
4 Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.
And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].
5 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.
And when he came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house.
6 Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.
And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.
7 And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.
And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.
8 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.
But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.
9 Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham.
And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.
for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.
11 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.
But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.
12 He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.
He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.
13 And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.
And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.
14 Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.
But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.
15 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.
And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.
And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.
17 And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities.
And he said to him, Well [done], thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.
And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
19 And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.
And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.
20 So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin:
And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.
21 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.
For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.
22 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.
He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.
23 Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage?
And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?
24 And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces.
And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.
25 (And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.)
And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
26 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.
For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
27 Moreouer, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.
And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 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,
And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 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.
saying, Go into the village over against [you], in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no [child] of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it [here].
31 And if any man aske you, why ye loose him, thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him.
And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.
32 So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them.
And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
33 And as they were loosing the colte, the owners thereof sayd vnto them, Why loose ye the colte?
And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they sayd, The Lord hath neede of him.
And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.
35 So they brought him to Iesus, and they cast their garments on the colte, and set Iesus thereon.
And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].
36 And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way.
And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.
37 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,
And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that commeth in the Name of the Lord: peace in heauen, and glory in the highest places.
saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Then some of the Pharises of the companie sayd vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 But he answered, and sayd vnto them, I tell you, that if these should holde their peace, the stones would crie.
And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
41 And when he was come neere, he behelde the Citie, and wept for it,
And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,
42 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.
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;
43 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,
for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side,
44 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.
and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.
45 He went also into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde therein, and them that bought,
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,
46 Saying vnto them, It is written, Mine house is the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.
saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
47 And he taught dayly in the Temple. And the hie Priests and the Scribes, and the chiefe of the people sought to destroy him.
And he was teaching day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 But they could not finde what they might doe to him: for all the people hanged vpon him when they heard him.
and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.
