Luke 19
1 Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, who was rich.
There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he could not do so because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
He was trying to see who Yeshua was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because Jesus was about to pass by that way.
He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
5 When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and saw him. Then he said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at yoʋr house today.”
When Yeshua came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
6 So he hurried down and received Jesus with joy.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 When all the people saw it, they grumbled, saying, “He has gone in to stay with a sinful man.”
When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
8 But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I will pay back four times the amount.”
Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, for this man also is a son of Abraham.
Yeshua said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.”
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
11 Now as the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once.
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
12 So he said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself and then return.
He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
13 Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’
He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
14 Now his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
15 When he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, so that he might know who had gained what by engaging in business.
“When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, 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 The first came before him and said, ‘Master, yoʋr mina has made ten minas more.’
The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
17 The king said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because yoʋ have been faithful in a very small matter, take authority over ten cities.’
“He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18 The second came and said, ‘Master, yoʋr mina has made five minas.’
“The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
19 The king said to him, ‘Yoʋ are to be over five cities.’
“So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
20 Another came and said, ‘Master, behold, here is yoʋr mina, which I kept put away in a piece of cloth.
Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 For I was afraid of yoʋ, because yoʋ are a stern man. Yoʋ take out what yoʋ did not put in, and yoʋ reap what yoʋ did not sow.’
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
22 The king said to him, ‘I will condemn yoʋ by the words coming out of yoʋr own mouth, yoʋ evil servant. Yoʋ knew, did yoʋ, that I was a stern man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?
“He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
23 Why then did yoʋ not deposit my money in the bank, and when I came I would have collected it with interest?’
Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
24 Then he said to those standing nearby, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
25 (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas!’)
“They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
26 ‘For I tell you that everyone who has will be given more, but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
27 But as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
28 After saying these things, Jesus continued on his way up to Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 As he drew near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples ahead,
When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’”
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 So those who were sent went off and found it just as he had told them.
Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 They said, “The Lord has need of it.”
They said, “The Lord needs it.”
35 Then they brought the colt to Jesus, threw their garments over it, and set Jesus on it.
Then they brought it to Yeshua. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Yeshua on them.
36 As he went along, people were spreading their garments on the road.
As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
37 And as he drew near to the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen,
As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which 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!”
saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
39 But some of the Pharisees from among the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke yoʋr disciples.”
Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Rabbi, rebuke your disciples!”
40 In response he said to them, “I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out.”
He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
41 As he drew near to Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it,
When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 saying, “If only yoʋ had known, especially on this yoʋr day, what would bring about yoʋr peace! But now it is hidden from yoʋr eyes.
saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 For the days will come upon yoʋ when yoʋr enemies build a barricade around yoʋ and encircle yoʋ, hemming yoʋ 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,
44 They will raze yoʋ to the ground, and yoʋr children within yoʋ. They will not leave in yoʋ one stone upon another, because yoʋ did not recognize the time of yoʋr visitation.”
and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
45 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were selling and buying there.
He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
46 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”
saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
47 Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him, and so were the prominent leaders among the people.
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
48 But they could not figure out what to do, for all the people were hanging on his every word as they listened to him.
They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
