3 et quaerebat videre Iesum quis esset et non poterat prae turba quia statura pusillus erat

And Zaccheus stood forth, and said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.
9 ait Iesus ad eum quia hodie salus domui huic facta est eo quod et ipse filius sit Abrahae

11 haec illis audientibus adiciens dixit parabolam eo quod esset prope Hierusalem et quia existimarent quod confestim regnum Dei manifestaretur
And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare.
12 dixit ergo homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam accipere sibi regnum et reverti
He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.

22 dicit ei de ore tuo te iudico serve nequam sciebas quod ego austeris homo sum tollens quod non posui et metens quod non seminavi
Then he sayde vnto him, Of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, O euill seruant. Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, and reaping that I did not sowe.
23 et quare non dedisti pecuniam meam ad mensam et ego veniens cum usuris utique exegissem illud

For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him.
27 verumtamen inimicos meos illos qui noluerunt me regnare super se adducite huc et interficite ante me

28 et his dictis praecedebat ascendens in Hierosolyma

36 eunte autem illo substernebant vestimenta sua in via

And shall make thee euen with ye ground, and thy children which are in thee, and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone, because thou knewest not that season of thy visitation.
45 et ingressus in templum coepit eicere vendentes in illo et ementes
