Luke 19
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
And as Jesus entered and passed through Jericho,
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
there was a certain man, whose name was Zaccheus, who was rich, and chief of the publicans;
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
and he wished to see Jesus, who he was; and could not, on account of the crowd; because Zaccheus was small in stature.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
And he ran forward of Jesus, and climbed a wild fig-tree, in order to see him; for he was to pass that way.
5 When Jesus 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.”
And when Jesus came to the place, he saw him, and said to him: Make haste and come down, Zaccheus; for I must be at thy house to-day.
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
And he hastened, and came down, and received him with gladness.
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
And when they all saw it, they murmured, and said: He hath gone in to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 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.”
And Zaccheus stood up, and said to Jesus: Behold, my Lord, the half of my riches I give to the poor; and to every man, whom I have wronged in any thing, I restore fourfold.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
Jesus said to him: This day, life is to this house; for he also 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 came, to seek and to vivify that which was lost.
11 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.
And when they heard these things, he proceeded to utter a similitude; because he was near to Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was to be soon developed.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
And he said: A certain man of high birth was going to a distant place, to obtain royalty, and return again.
13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds: and he said to them, Traffic until I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
But the inhabitants of his city hated him; and they sent envoys after him, saying: We wish this man not to reign over us.
15 “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.
And when he had obtained the royalty, and had returned, he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had committed his money; that he might know what each of them had gained by trading.
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
And the first came, and said: My Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
He said to him: Well done, good servant! As thou hast been faithful over a little, thou shalt have authority over ten towns.
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
And the second came, and said: My lord, thy pound hath produced five pounds.
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
He said likewise to him: Thou also shalt have authority over five towns.
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
And another came, and said: My lord, lo, this is thy pound, which hath been with me, laid up in fine linen.
21 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.’
For I was afraid of thee, because thou art a hard man, and takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou sowedst not.
22 “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.
He said to him: Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou evil servant. Thou knewest me, that I am a hard man, and that I take up what I laid not down, and reap what I sowed not!
23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
Why didst thou not put my money into the broker's hands, that when I came, I might have demanded it 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.’
And he said to them that stood before him: Take from him the pound, and give it to him with whom are the ten pounds.
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
They say to him: Our lord, there are with him ten pounds.
26 ‘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.
He said to them: I tell you, that to every one that hath, will be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
But as for those my enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me.
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
And when Jesus had spoken these things, he went forward, to go to Jerusalem.
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
And when he arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, near to the mount called the place of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 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.
and said to them: Go ye to the village that is over against us, and as ye enter it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever rode; loose him and bring him.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? say to him: Our Lord needeth him.
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
And they went who were sent, and they found, as he said to them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
And as they loosed the colt, the owner of him said to them: Why do ye loose that colt?
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
And they said: Because our Lord needeth him.
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
And they brought him to Jesus. And they cast their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus upon him.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
37 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,
And when he came near to the descent of the place of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God, with a loud voice, for all the mighty deeds 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!”
And they said: Blessed be the king, that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory on high.
39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
And some of the Pharisees from among the crowd, said to him: Rabbi, rebuke thy disciples.
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
He said to them: I tell you, that, if these should be silent, the stones would cry out.
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
And as he drew near, and beheld the city, he wept over it:
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
and said: O, hadst thou known the things that are of thy peace, at least in this thy day: but now they are hidden from thy 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,
For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies will encompass thee, and besiege thee on every side.
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 didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
And they will destroy thee, and thy children within thee; and will not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
And when he entered the temple, he began to expel those who bought and sold in it.
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
And he said to them: It is written, My house is a house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of robbers.
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
And he taught daily in the temple: and the chief priests and Scribes and Elders of the people, sought to destroy him.
48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
But they found not, what they could do to him; for all the people hung upon him to hear him.
