And as he came to the place, looking up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 And hastening, he came down, and received Him rejoicing.

8 And Zaccheus standing, 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 one fraudulently, I restore 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."

The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17 And he said to him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in the least, have thou 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 one came, saying, Lord, thy pound has gained five pounds.
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 And he also said to him, Be thou over five cities.
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 And the other one came, saying, Lord, behold, thy pound, which I had laid away in a napkin:
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou hadst not laid down, and thou reapest that which thou hast not sown.
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 And he says to him, Out of thine own mouth I will judge thee, thou wicked servant. Didst thou know that I am an austere man, taking up what I have not laid down, and reaping what I have not sown?
"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 Wherefore indeed didst thou not put my money in the bank? and having come I would have received the same with the product.
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 from him, and give it to the one having 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 I say unto you, that to every one having it shall be given; and from every one not having, it shall be taken away even that which he hath.
'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 Moreover bring these my enemies, not wishing me to rule over them, hither, and slay them before me.
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"

43 Because the days will come upon thee, and thine enemies will cast a fortification about thee, and surround thee, and press in on thee from all directions,
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,
44 and will slay thee, and thy children in thee; and will leave in thee not a stone upon a stone; because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
