2 and behold, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich,

3 and he was seeking to see Jesus, who He is, and was not able for the multitude, because he was small in stature,
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see Him, because through that [way] He was about to pass by.
And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, He saw him and said to him, “Zaccheus, having hurried, come down, for it is necessary for Me to remain in your house today”;
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 and he having hurried came down, and received Him rejoicing;
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying, “He went in to lodge with a sinful man!”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 And Zaccheus having stood, said to the LORD, “Behold, half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor, and if I took by false accusation anything of anyone, I give back fourfold.”
And Zacchaeus 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 fourfold.
9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation came to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

11 And while they are hearing these things, having added He spoke an allegory, because of His being near to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the Kingdom of God is immediately about to appear.
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

13 and having called ten servants of his own, he gave ten minas to them and said to them, Do business—until I come;

14 and his citizens were hating him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what anyone had done in business.
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.

Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you became faithful in a very little, be having authority over ten cities.
And he said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina made five minas;
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 and he also said to this one, And you, become [ruler] over five cities.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, your mina, that I had lying away in a napkin;
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 for I was afraid of you, because you are an austere man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22 And he says to him, Out of your mouth I will judge you, evil servant: you knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
23 And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, might have received it with interest?
Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
24 And to those standing by he said, Take the mina from him, and give to him having the ten minas—
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 (and they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas)—
( And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 for I say to you that to everyone having will be given, and from him not having, also what he has will be taken from him,
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.
27 but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring here and slay before me.”

Saying, Go ye into the village opposite you; in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
31 and if anyone questions you, Why do you loose [it]? Thus you will say to him: The LORD has need of it.”
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.
32 And those sent, having gone away, found according as He said to them,
And they that were sent went, and found even as he had said to them.

41 And when He came near, having seen the city, He wept over it,
And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

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.
43 Because days will come on you, and your enemies will cast a rampart around you, and surround you around, and press you on every side,
For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and surround thee, and keep thee in on every side,
44 and lay you low, and your children within you, and they will not leave in you a stone on a stone, because you did not know the time of your inspection.”
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.
