Luke 19
1 He entered and was passing through Irikhu.
So he entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
2 And look, there was a man named Zakai. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
There was a man there, called Zaccheus, who was a chief of the tax- gatherers, and was wealthy.
3 He was trying to see who Yeshua was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
And he kept trying to see what sort of a man Jesus was; but he could not see because he was short.
4 He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
So he ran on before him and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him; for he was about to pass that way.
5 And as he came to the place, looking up, Yeshua saw him, and said to him, "Zakai, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
As soon as Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Come down quickly, Zaccheus, for today I must stay at your house."
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
He made haste to climb down, and receive him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
When they all saw it, they began to complain, saying "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 And Zakai 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."
But Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord, "I give half my property to the poor, Lord, and if I have defrauded any man of anything I am restoring it to him fourfold."
9 Yeshua said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Avraham.
"Today is salvation come to this house," said Jesus "since Zaccheus here is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save the lost."
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Urishlim, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
As they were listening to his words he added this parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
12 He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
So he said. "A certain nobleman went abroad to receive for himself royal power and to return.
13 He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
"And he summoned ten slaves of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, "‘Trade with these until I come.’
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
"But this fellow citizens hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, ‘We do not wish this man to become our king.’
15 "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.
"And upon his return after he had secured the royal power, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he might know what they had gained by trading.
16 The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
"And the first came before him, saying, ‘Master, your pound has made ten pounds.’
17 "And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
"And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’
18 "The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
"And the second came and said, ‘Master, your pound has made five pounds.’
19 "So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
"Then he said to him also, ‘You shall be over five cities.’
20 Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
"And the next came to him and said, ‘Here master is your pound which I was keeping safe in a napkin.
21 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.'
"‘For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take what you did not sow.’
22 "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.
"He said to him, "‘By your own words I will Judge you, you wicked slave. You knew, did you, that I was a hard man taking up what I did not lay down, reaping what I did not sow.
23 Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
"‘Then why did you not put my money into the bank, so that at my coming I might I might have gotten it back with interest?’
24 He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
"Then to those who stood by, he said, ‘Take the pounds from him and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
25 "They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
"‘Master,’ they said to him, ‘he already has ten pounds.’
26 '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.
"‘I tell you that to every one who has it shall be given; and from him who has not shall be taken away even what he has.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
"‘Howbeit these enemies of mine who were not willing for me to become their King, bring them here, and slay them in my presence.’"
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Urishlim.
When he had so spoken he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 It happened, when he drew near to Beth-Pageh and Beth-Naiya, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
When he was come near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called The Olive Orchard,
30 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.
he sent two of his disciples saying. "Go into the village in the front, and on entering it you will find an ass’s colt tied, on which no one has ever ridden.
31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
"Untie it and bring it here. And if any one asks you, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’ Simply say, ‘The Master needs it.’"
32 Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
Then those who were sent out and found it as he had told them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
For as they were untying the colt, the owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
They answered, "The Master needs it."
35 They brought it to Yeshua. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Yeshua on them.
So they led it to Jesus, and, after throwing their outer garments on the colt, they placed Jesus on it.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
So he rode on, while they kept throwing their garments in the way.
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
And when now he was coming near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God with a loud voice for the almighty works they had seen.
38 saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
They cried, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven and glory in the Highest"
39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
And some of the Pharisees said to them out of the crowd, "Teacher reprove your disciples!"
40 He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
"I tell you," he answered, "that if these should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out."
41 When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
And when he came into view of the city, as he approached it he broke into loud weeping,
42 saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
exclaiming. "Oh that at this time you knew, yes, even you, on what your peace depends! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 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,
"The time will come for you when your enemies will throw ramparts around you, and encompass you, and shut you in on every side, and raze you to the ground,
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
"you and your children within you. And they will not leave in you one stone upon the another. Because you knew not the time of your visitation."
45 And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
Then Jesus went into the Temple and began to drive out dealers,
46 saying to them, "It is written, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'."
saying, "It is written, "The house of God shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leaders among the people sought to destroy him.
Day after day he continued to teach in the Temple. The high priests and scribes tried to have him put to death, so did the rulers of the people.
48 They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
But they could not find how to do it, for the people all hung upon him, listening to him.
