1 A nd he entered and was passing through Jericho.

And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,

2 A nd behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.

and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich,

3 A nd he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.

and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,

4 A nd he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see him, because through that he was about to pass by.

5 A nd when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house.

And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, `Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;'

6 A nd he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;

7 A nd when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.

and having seen, they were all murmuring, saying -- `With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'

8 A nd Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.

And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, `Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'

9 A nd Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

And Jesus said unto him -- `To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

10 F or the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

11 A nd as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.

And while they are hearing these things, having added he spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest.

12 H e said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

He said therefore, `A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,

13 A nd he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come.

and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them ten pounds, and said unto them, Do business -- till I come;

14 B ut his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.

and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.

15 A nd it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.

`And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business.

16 A nd the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.

`And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds;

17 A nd he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.

18 A nd the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.

`And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds;

19 A nd he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.

and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.

20 A nd another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:

`And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;

21 f or I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.

for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.

22 H e saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;

`And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!

23 t hen wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?

and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?

24 A nd he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds.

`And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds --

25 A nd they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.

(and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) --

26 I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,

27 B ut these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'

28 A nd when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

29 A nd it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 s aying, Go your way into the village over against you; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.

having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring;

31 A nd if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him.

and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose ? thus ye shall say to him -- The Lord hath need of it.'

32 A nd they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.

And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,

33 A nd as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, `Why loose ye the colt?'

34 A nd they said, The Lord hath need of him.

and they said, `The Lord hath need of it;'

35 A nd they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.

and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.

36 A nd as he went, they spread their garments in the way.

And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,

37 A nd as he was now drawing nigh, even 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 as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

38 s aying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

saying, `blessed he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'

39 A nd some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.

And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, `Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;'

40 A nd he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

and he answering said to them, `I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!'

41 A nd when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,

And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it,

42 s aying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

saying -- `If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes.

43 F or the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

`Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee on every side,

44 a nd shall dash thee to 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.

and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.'

45 A nd he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,

And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,

46 s aying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.

saying to them, `It hath been written, My house is a house of prayer -- but ye made it a den of robbers.'

47 A nd he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:

And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him -- also the chiefs of the people --

and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.
