Then
Jesus
entered Jericho
and was passing through.
He
entered and was passing through Jericho
.
And
there was a man named Zacchaeus ,
a chief tax collector, who
was very
wealthy
.
There was a man named Zacchaeus .
He
was
a chief tax collector, and
he
was rich
.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, but
could
not
see
over
the crowd because he was small
in
stature
.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and
couldn't
because
of
the crowd ,
because he was short
.
So
he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since
Jesus
was about
to pass that way.
He ran on ahead ,
and climbed up
into
a sycamore tree to see him, for
he
was to pass that way.
When Jesus came to that
place, He looked up and said, “
Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today
. ”
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. "
So
Zacchaeus
hurried down and welcomed
Him joyfully.
He
hurried ,
came
down ,
and received
him joyfully.
And
all
who
saw this
began
to
grumble
, saying, “
He has gone to be
the
guest
of
a sinful
man !”
When
they
saw it
, they
all
murmured,
saying, "
He has gone in
to lodge
with
a man who
is
a
sinner."
But
Zacchaeus stood up
and said to the Lord, “Look
, Lord, half of my possessions
I give to the poor ,
and
if I have cheated
anyone, I will
repay
it
fourfold
. ”
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
. "
Jesus said to him, “
Today salvation has come to this house, because this
man
too
is a son of Abraham.
Jesus said to him, "
Today ,
salvation has come to this house, because he
also
is a son of Abraham.
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the
lost. ”
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that
which
was
lost. "
While
the
people
were
listening
to
this
, Jesus
proceeded
to
tell
them
a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought
the kingdom of God would appear
imminently
.
As
they
heard
these
things
, he
went
on
and
told
a parable, because he was near Jerusalem ,
and they supposed
that
the Kingdom of God would be
revealed
immediately
.
So
He said, “
A man
of
noble
birth
went to
a distant
country to lay
claim
to
his
kingship
and then
return.
He said therefore
, "
A certain
nobleman
went into
a far
country to receive
for
himself
a
kingdom,
and to
return.
Beforehand,
he called ten of his servants
and gave them ten minas.
‘
Conduct business with
this
until I return,’
he
said
.
He called ten servants
of his ,
and gave them ten mina
coins,
and
told
them,
'
Conduct business until I come
. '
But his subjects
hated him and sent a
delegation
after him to
say
, ‘
We do
not
want this man to rule
over us. ’
But his citizens
hated him ,
and sent an
envoy
after him, saying,
'
We don't
want this man to reign
over us. '
When he returned
from
procuring
his
kingship
, he
summoned
the servants to whom he had given the money, to find
out
what each
one
had earned
.
"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
.
The first servant
came forward
and
said
, ‘Master
, your mina has produced
ten more minas. ’
The first came before
him
, saying
, 'Lord,
your mina has made
ten more minas. '
His
master
replied
, ‘
Well done, good servant! Because you have
been
faithful in
a
very small
matter
, you shall have 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. '
The second servant
came and
said
, ‘Master
, your mina has made five minas. ’
"
The second came, saying
, '
Your mina ,
Lord,
has made five minas. '
And
to
this
one
he said, ‘
You shall
have
authority
over five cities. ’
"So
he said to
him
, 'And
you are
to
be
over five cities. '
Then
another servant
came and
said
, ‘Master
, here
is
your mina, which I have
laid away in a piece
of
cloth.
Another came, saying
, 'Lord,
behold,
your mina, which I kept
laid away in a handkerchief,
For I was
afraid
of
you, because you are a
harsh
man. You withdraw
what
you did
not
deposit
and reap what
you 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. '
His
master
replied,
‘You
wicked
servant
, I
will judge you by
your
own
words.
So
you knew that I am a
harsh
man, withdrawing
what
I did
not
deposit
and reaping what
I did
not
sow ?
"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 didn't
lay
down,
and reaping that
which
I didn't
sow .
Why
then did
you not
deposit my money in the bank, and upon
my return
I could
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
? '
Then
he told
those standing
by, ‘
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. '
‘Master,’
they said, ‘
he already
has ten! ’
"
They said to
him
, 'Lord,
he has ten minas
! '
He
replied,
‘
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.
And
these
enemies of mine who were
unwilling
for
me to rule
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. '"
After
Jesus
had
said this
, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Having
said these
things
, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
As
He approached
Bethphage
and Bethany at the Mount
of
Olives
, He sent out
two of His disciples,
It
happened,
when
he drew
near
to
Bethsphage
and Bethany ,
at the mountain
that
is
called
Olivet
, he sent two of his disciples,
saying, “
Go into the village ahead
of
you
, and
as you enter it
, you will find a colt tied there
, 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, whereon
no man
ever yet
sat. Untie it ,
and bring it.
If anyone asks, ‘
Why are you untying it? ’
tell
him ,
‘
The Lord needs it. ’”
If anyone asks you
, '
Why are you untying it? '
say
to
him :
'
The Lord needs it. '"
So
those who were sent went out
and found it
just as Jesus
had told them.
Those who were sent went away,
and found things
just as he
had told them.
As they were untying the colt, its
owners asked
, “
Why are you untying the colt? ”
As they were untying the colt, the
owners of
it
said
to
them
, "
Why are you untying the colt? "
“
The Lord needs it ,”
they
answered
.
They
said,
"
The Lord needs it. "
Then
they led
the
colt
to Jesus ,
threw their cloaks over
it
, and put
Jesus on it
.
They brought
it
to Jesus .
They
threw their cloaks on
the
colt
, and set
Jesus on them
.
As He rode
along
, the
people
spread their cloaks on
the road
.
As he went
, they
spread their cloaks in
the way
.
And
as He approached
the descent from
the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully
in
a loud voice for all the miracles
they had seen :

Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! ”
“
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! ”
saying,
"

and glory in the highest! "
But
some of the Pharisees in
the crowd
said to Him, “
Teacher, rebuke Your disciples! ”
Some of the Pharisees from
the multitude
said to him, "
Teacher, rebuke your disciples! "
“I
tell
you,”
He answered, “
if they
remain
silent, the very
stones will
cry out. ”
He answered them
, "I
tell
you
that
if these
were
silent, the stones would
cry out. "
As
Jesus
approached
Jerusalem
and
saw the city ,
He
wept over it
When
he
drew
near,
he
saw the city and
wept over it ,
and
said
, “
If only
you had known on
this
day
what
would
bring
you
peace! But now it
is
hidden from your eyes.
saying
, "
If you ,
even
you,
had known today
the
things
which
belong
to
your
peace! But now ,
they
are
hidden from your eyes.
For the days will come upon
you when your enemies will barricade you and
surround you and
hem you 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 ,
They
will level
you
to
the
ground—
you and the
children within your
walls
. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did
not
recognize
the time of your visitation from
God
. ”
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. "
Then
Jesus
entered the temple courts
and began to drive out those who were
selling
there.

entered into
the temple ,
and began to drive out those who bought
and
sold
in
it,

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
a house of prayer ,'
but you have made it a '
den of robbers '!"

Him.

way
to
do so
, because
all the people hung on His
words
.
They couldn't
find what
they
might
do, for
all the people hung on to
every
word
that
he
said
.
