1 A nd having entered, he was passing through Jericho,

Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

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

Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

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

And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

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

So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.

5 A nd 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;'

And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

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

So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.

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

But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”

8 A nd 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.'

Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”

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

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

10 f or the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” The Parable of the Minas

11 A nd 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.

Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.

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

Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

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

So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’

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

But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’

15 ` 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.

“And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

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

Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’

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

And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’

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

And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’

19 a nd he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.

Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

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

“Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.

21 f or 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.

For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’

22 ` 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!

And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

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

Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’

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

“And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’

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

(But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’)

26 f or 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,

‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

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

But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.’” The Triumphal Entry

28 A nd having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 A nd 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,

And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,

30 h aving 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;

saying, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here.

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

And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it? ’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’”

32 A nd those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,

So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them.

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

But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, “Why are you loosing the colt?”

34 a nd they said, `The Lord hath need of it;'

And they said, “The Lord has need of him.”

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

Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.

36 A nd as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,

And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.

37 a nd 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,

Then, as He was now drawing near 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 they had seen,

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

saying: “ ‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the L ord!’ Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

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

And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

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

But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 A nd when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it,

Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,

42 s aying -- `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.

saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

43 ` 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,

For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,

44 a nd 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.'

and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” Jesus Cleanses the Temple

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

Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

46 s aying to them, `It hath been written, My house is a house of prayer -- but ye 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 thieves.’”
