Luke 19
1 Jesus entered and was passing through Jericho.
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Behold, there was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the tax collectors, and he was rich.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd, because he was small in height.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 So he ran on ahead of the people and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was about to pass that way.
And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.”
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 So he hurried and came down and welcomed him joyfully.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 When everyone saw this, they all complained, saying, “He has gone in to visit a man who is a sinner.”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I will restore four times the amount.”
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 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too 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 people who are lost.”
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 As they heard these things, he continued speaking and told a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to appear immediately.
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.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then to return.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 He called ten of his servants, and gave them ten minas, and said to them, 'Conduct business until I come back.'
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We will not have this man rule 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 It happened when he came back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded the servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what profit they had made by doing 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.
16 The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.'
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 The nobleman said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful in very little, you will have 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 The second came, saying, 'Your mina, lord, has made five minas.'
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 The nobleman said to him, 'You take charge over five cities.'
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 Another came, saying, 'Lord, here is your mina, which I kept safely in a cloth,
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 a demanding person. You take up what you did not put in, and you 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 The nobleman said to him, 'By your own words I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am a demanding person, that I take up what I did not put in, and that I reaped 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 Then why did you not put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I would have collected 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 The nobleman said to them that stood by, 'Take away from him the mina, and give it to him that has 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 They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
( And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 'I say to you, that everyone who has will be given more, but from him that has not, even that which he has will be taken away.
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 these enemies of mine, those who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and kill them before me.'”
But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.
28 When he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 It came about that when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the hill that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
And it came to pass, when he had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 saying, “Go into the next village. As you enter, you will find a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to 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 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say, '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 Those who were sent went and found the colt just as Jesus had told them.
And they that were sent went, and found even as he had said to them.
33 As they were untying the colt, the owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 They said, “The Lord has need of it.”
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their cloaks upon the colt and set Jesus on it.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus on it.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 As he was now approaching the place where the Mount of Olives descends, 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,
And when he had come near, even now 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 that 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 be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Jesus answered and said, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 When Jesus approached the city, he wept over it,
And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 saying, “If only you had known in this day, even you, the things which bring you peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
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 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build a barricade around you, and surround you, and press in on you from 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 They will strike you down to the ground and your children with you. They will not leave one stone upon another, because you did not recognize it when God was trying to save you.”
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.
45 Jesus entered the temple and began to cast out those who were selling,
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought;
46 saying to them, “It is written, 'My house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers.”
Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 So Jesus was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the leaders of the people wanted to kill him,
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were listening to him intently.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
