¹ And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

² And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

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

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

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

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

⁷ And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

⁸ And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

⁹ And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

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

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

¹³ And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

¹⁶ Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

¹⁷ And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

¹⁸ And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

¹⁹ And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

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

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

²² And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

²³ Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

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

²⁵ (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

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

²⁷ But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

²⁸ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

²⁹ And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰ Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

³¹ And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

³² And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

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

³⁴ And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

³⁵ And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

³⁶ And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

³⁷ And when he was come nigh, even now 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 that they had seen;

³⁸ Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

⁴⁰ And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

⁴¹ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

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

⁴³ For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

⁴⁴ And shall lay thee even with 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.

⁴⁵ And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

⁴⁶ Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

⁴⁷ And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

⁴⁸ And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

¹ And ^G2532 Jesus entered ^G1525 and passed through ^G1330 Jericho. ^G2410

² And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 there was a man ^G435 named ^{G3686 G2564} Zacchaeus, ^G2195 which ^{G2532 G846} was ^G2258 the chief among the publicans, ^G754 and ^G2532 he ^G3778 was ^G2258 rich. ^G4145

³ And ^G2532 he sought ^G2212 to see ^G1492 Jesus ^G2424 who ^G5101 he was; ^G2076 and ^G2532 could ^G1410 not ^G3756 for ^G575 the press, ^G3793 because ^G3754 he was ^G2258 little ^G3398 of stature. ^G2244

⁴ And ^G2532 he ran ^G4390 before, ^G1715 and climbed up ^G305 into ^G1909 a sycomore tree ^G4809 to ^G2443 see ^G1492 him: ^G846 for ^G3754 he was ^G3195 to pass ^{G1330 G1223} that ^G1565 way.

⁵ And ^G2532 when ^G5613 Jesus ^G2424 came ^G2064 to ^G1909 the place, ^G5117 he looked up, ^G308 and saw ^G1492 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 Zacchaeus, ^G2195 make haste, ^G4692 and come down; ^G2597 for ^G1063 to day ^G4594 I ^G3165 must ^G1163 abide ^G3306 at ^G1722 thy ^G4675 house. ^G3624

⁶ And ^G2532 he made haste, ^G4692 and came down, ^G2597 and ^G2532 received ^G5264 him ^G846 joyfully. ^G5463

⁷ And ^G2532 when they saw ^G1492 it, they ^G1234 all ^G537 murmured, ^G1234 saying, ^G3004 That ^G3754 he was gone ^G1525 to be guest ^G2647 with ^G3844 a man ^G435 that is a sinner. ^G268

⁸ And ^G1161 Zacchaeus ^G2195 stood, ^G2476 and said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 the Lord; ^G2962 Behold, ^G2400 Lord, ^G2962 the half ^G2255 of my ^G3450 goods ^G5224 I give ^G1325 to the poor; ^G4434 and ^G2532 if ^G1536 I have taken ^G4811 any thing ^G1536 from any man ^G5100 by false accusation, ^G4811 I restore ^G591 him fourfold. ^G5073

⁹ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 him, ^{G846 G3754} This day ^G4594 is ^G1096 salvation ^G4991 come ^G1096 to this ^G5129 house, ^G3624 forsomuch as ^G2530 he ^G846 also ^G2532 is ^G2076 a son ^G5207 of Abraham. ^G11

¹⁰ For ^G1063 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 is come ^G2064 to seek ^G2212 and ^G2532 to save ^G4982 that which was lost. ^G622

¹¹ And ^G1161 as they ^G846 heard ^G191 these things, ^G5023 he added ^G4369 and spake ^G2036 a parable, ^G3850 because ^G1223 he ^G846 was ^G1511 nigh ^G1451 to Jerusalem, ^G2419 and ^G2532 because they ^G846 thought ^G1380 that ^G3754 the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 should ^G3195 immediately ^G3916 appear. ^G398

¹² He said ^G2036 therefore, ^G3767 A certain ^G5100 nobleman ^{G444 G2104} went ^G4198 into ^G1519 a far ^G3117 country ^G5561 to receive ^G2983 for himself ^G1438 a kingdom, ^G932 and ^G2532 to return. ^G5290

¹³ And ^G1161 he called ^G2564 his ^G1438 ten ^G1176 servants, ^G1401 and delivered ^G1325 them ^G846 ten ^G1176 pounds, ^G3414 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 Occupy ^G4231 till ^G2193 I come. ^G2064

¹⁴ But ^G1161 his ^G846 citizens ^G4177 hated ^G3404 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 sent ^G649 a message ^G4242 after ^G3694 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 We will ^G2309 not ^G3756 have ^G2309 this ^G5126 man to reign ^G936 over ^G1909 us. ^G2248

¹⁵ And ^G2532 it came to pass, ^G1096 that when ^G1722 he ^G846 was returned, ^G1880 having received ^G2983 the kingdom, ^G932 then ^G2532 he commanded ^G2036 these ^G5128 servants ^G1401 to be called ^G5455 unto him, ^G846 to whom ^G3739 he had given ^G1325 the money, ^G694 that ^G2443 he might know ^G1097 how much ^G5101 every man ^G5101 had gained by trading. ^G1281

¹⁶ Then ^G1161 came ^G3854 the first, ^G4413 saying, ^G3004 Lord, ^G2962 thy ^G4675 pound ^G3414 hath gained ^G4333 ten ^G1176 pounds. ^G3414

¹⁷ And ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Well, ^G2095 thou good ^G18 servant: ^G1401 because ^G3754 thou hast been ^G1096 faithful ^G4103 in ^G1722 a very little, ^G1646 have ^G2192 thou authority ^{G2468 G1849} over ^G1883 ten ^G1176 cities. ^G4172

¹⁸ And ^G2532 the second ^G1208 came, ^G2064 saying, ^G3004 Lord, ^G2962 thy ^G4675 pound ^G3414 hath gained ^G4160 five ^G4002 pounds. ^G3414

¹⁹ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 likewise ^G2532 to him, ^G5129 Be ^G1096 thou ^G4771 also ^G2532 over ^G1883 five ^G4002 cities. ^G4172

²⁰ And ^G2532 another ^G2087 came, ^G2064 saying, ^G3004 Lord, ^G2962 behold, ^G2400 here is thy ^G4675 pound, ^G3414 which ^G3739 I have ^G2192 kept laid up ^G606 in ^G1722 a napkin: ^G4676

²¹ For ^G1063 I feared ^G5399 thee, ^G4571 because ^G3754 thou art ^G1488 an austere ^G840 man: ^G444 thou takest up ^G142 that ^G3739 thou layedst ^G5087 not ^G3756 down, ^G5087 and ^G2532 reapest ^G2325 that ^G3739 thou didst ^G4687 not ^G3756 sow. ^G4687

²² And ^G1161 he saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Out of ^G1537 thine own ^G4675 mouth ^G4750 will I judge ^G2919 thee, ^G4571 thou wicked ^G4190 servant. ^G1401 Thou knewest ^G1492 that ^G3754 I ^G1473 was ^G1510 an austere ^G840 man, ^G444 taking up ^G142 that ^G3739 I laid ^G5087 not ^G3756 down, ^G5087 and ^G2532 reaping ^G2325 that ^G3739 I did ^G4687 not ^G3756 sow: ^G4687

²³ Wherefore ^G1302 then ^G2532 gavest ^G1325 not ^G3756 thou ^G1325 my ^G3450 money ^G694 into ^G1909 the bank, ^G5132 that ^G2532 at my coming ^G2064 I ^G1473 might ^G302 have required ^G4238 mine own ^G846 with ^G4862 usury? ^G5110

²⁴ And ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto them that stood by, ^G3936 Take ^G142 from ^G575 him ^G846 the pound, ^G3414 and ^G2532 give ^G1325 it to him that hath ^G2192 ten ^G1176 pounds. ^G3414

²⁵ (And ^G2532 they said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Lord, ^G2962 he hath ^G2192 ten ^G1176 pounds.) ^G3414

²⁶ For ^G1063 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 That ^G3754 unto every one ^G3956 which ^G3588 hath ^G2192 shall be given; ^G1325 and ^G1161 from ^G575 him that hath ^G2192 not, ^G3361 even ^G2532 that ^G3739 he hath ^G2192 shall be taken away ^G142 from ^G575 him. ^G846

²⁷ But ^G4133 those ^G1565 mine ^G3450 enemies, ^G2190 which ^G3588 would ^G2309 not ^G3361 that I ^G3165 should reign ^G936 over ^G1909 them, ^G846 bring ^G71 hither, ^G5602 and ^G2532 slay ^G2695 them before ^G1715 me. ^G3450

²⁸ And ^G2532 when he had thus ^G5023 spoken, ^G2036 he went ^G4198 before, ^G1715 ascending up ^G305 to ^G1519 Jerusalem. ^G2414

²⁹ And ^G2532 it came to pass, ^G1096 when ^G5613 he was come nigh ^G1448 to ^G1519 Bethphage ^G967 and ^G2532 Bethany, ^G963 at ^G4314 the mount ^G3735 called ^G2564 the mount of Olives, ^G1636 he sent ^G649 two ^G1417 of his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101

³⁰ Saying, ^G2036 Go ye ^G5217 into ^G1519 the village ^G2968 over against ^G2713 you; in ^G1722 the which ^G3739 at your entering ^G1531 ye shall find ^G2147 a colt ^G4454 tied, ^G1210 whereon ^{G1909 G3739} yet never ^G3762 man ^G444 sat: ^{G2523 G4455} loose ^G3089 him, ^G846 and bring ^G71 him hither.

³¹ And ^G2532 if ^G1437 any man ^G5100 ask ^G2065 you, ^G5209 Why ^G1302 do ye loose ^G3089 him? thus ^G3779 shall ye say ^G2046 unto him, ^G846 Because ^G3754 the Lord ^G2962 hath ^G2192 need ^G5532 of him. ^G846

³² And ^G1161 they that were sent ^G649 went their way, ^G565 and found ^G2147 even as ^G2531 he had said ^G2036 unto them. ^G846

³³ And ^G1161 as they ^G846 were loosing ^G3089 the colt, ^G4454 the owners ^G2962 thereof ^G846 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 Why ^G5101 loose ye ^G3089 the colt? ^G4454

³⁴ And ^G1161 they said, ^G2036 The Lord ^G2962 hath ^G2192 need ^G5532 of him. ^G846

³⁵ And ^G2532 they brought ^G71 him ^G846 to ^G4314 Jesus: ^G2424 and ^G2532 they cast ^G1977 their ^G1438 garments ^G2440 upon ^{G1909 G1977} the colt, ^G4454 and ^G1977 they set ^G1913 Jesus ^G2424 thereon. ^G1913

³⁶ And ^G1161 as he ^G846 went, ^G4198 they spread ^G5291 their ^G846 clothes ^G2440 in ^G1722 the way. ^G3598

³⁷ And when he ^G846 was come nigh, ^G1448 even ^G1161 now ^G2235 at ^G4314 the descent ^G2600 of the mount ^G3735 of Olives, ^G1636 the whole ^G537 multitude ^G4128 of the disciples ^G3101 began ^G756 to rejoice ^G5463 and praise ^G134 God ^G2316 with a loud ^G3173 voice ^G5456 for ^G4012 all ^G3956 the mighty works ^G1411 that ^G3739 they had seen; ^G1492

³⁸ Saying, ^G3004 Blessed ^G2127 be the King ^G935 that cometh ^G2064 in ^G1722 the name ^G3686 of the Lord: ^G2962 peace ^G1515 in ^G1722 heaven, ^G3772 and ^G2532 glory ^G1391 in ^G1722 the highest. ^G5310

³⁹ And ^G2532 some ^G5100 of the Pharisees ^G5330 from ^G575 among the multitude ^G3793 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 Master, ^G1320 rebuke ^G2008 thy ^G4675 disciples. ^G3101

⁴⁰ And ^G2532 he answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 I tell ^G3004 you ^G5213 that, ^G3754 if ^G1437 these ^G3778 should hold their peace, ^G4623 the stones ^G3037 would immediately cry out. ^G2896

⁴¹ And ^G2532 when ^G5613 he was come near, ^G1448 he beheld ^G1492 the city, ^G4172 and wept ^G2799 over ^G1909 it, ^G846

⁴² Saying, ^G3004 If ^{G3754 G1487} thou hadst known, ^G1097 even ^G2532 thou, ^G4771 at least ^G2534 in ^G1722 this ^G5026 thy ^G4675 day, ^G2250 the things ^G3588 which belong unto ^G4314 thy ^G4675 peace! ^G1515 but ^G1161 now ^G3568 they are hid ^G2928 from ^G575 thine ^G4675 eyes. ^G3788

⁴³ For ^G3754 the days ^G2250 shall come ^G2240 upon ^G1909 thee, ^G4571 that ^G2532 thine ^G4675 enemies ^G2190 shall cast ^G4016 a trench ^G5482 about ^G4016 thee, ^G4671 and ^G2532 compass ^G4033 thee ^G4571 round, ^G4033 and ^G2532 keep ^G4912 thee ^G4571 in ^G4912 on every side, ^G3840

⁴⁴ And ^G2532 shall lay ^G1474 thee ^G4571 even with the ground, ^G1474 and ^G2532 thy ^G4675 children ^G5043 within ^G1722 thee; ^G4671 and ^G2532 they shall ^G863 not ^G3756 leave ^G863 in ^G1722 thee ^G4671 one stone ^G3037 upon ^G1909 another; ^G3037 because ^{G473 G3739} thou knewest ^G1097 not ^G3756 the time ^G2540 of thy ^G4675 visitation. ^G1984

⁴⁵ And ^G2532 he went ^G1525 into ^G1519 the temple, ^G2411 and began ^G756 to cast out ^G1544 them that sold ^G4453 therein, ^{G1722 G846} and ^G2532 them that bought; ^G59

⁴⁶ Saying ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 It is written, ^G1125 My ^G3450 house ^G3624 is ^G2076 the house ^G3624 of prayer: ^G4335 but ^G1161 ye ^G5210 have made ^G4160 it ^G846 a den ^G4693 of thieves. ^G3027

⁴⁷ And ^G2532 he taught ^{G2258 G1321} daily ^{G2596 G2250} in ^G1722 the temple. ^G2411 But ^G1161 the chief priests ^G749 and ^G2532 the scribes ^G1122 and ^G2532 the chief ^G4413 of the people ^G2992 sought ^G2212 to destroy ^G622 him, ^G846

⁴⁸ And ^G2532 could ^G2147 not ^G3756 find ^G2147 what ^G5101 they might do: ^G4160 for ^G1063 all ^G537 the people ^G2992 were very attentive ^G1582 to hear ^G191 him. ^G846

¹ And he entered and was passing through Jericho.

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

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

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

⁵ And 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.

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

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

⁸ And 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.

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

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

¹¹ And 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.

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

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

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

¹⁵ And 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.

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

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

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

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

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

²¹ for 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.

²² He 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;

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

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

²⁵ And they said unto him, Lord, 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.

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

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

²⁹ And 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,

³⁰ saying, 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.

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

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

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

³⁴ And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

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

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

³⁷ And 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;

³⁸ saying, Blessed `is' the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

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

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

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

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

⁴³ For 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,

⁴⁴ and 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.

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

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

⁴⁷ And 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:

⁴⁸ and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.

---

¹ And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,

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

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

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

⁵ 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 and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;

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

⁸ 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 And Jesus said unto him -- `To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

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

¹¹ 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 He said therefore, `A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,

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

¹⁴ 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 `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 `And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds;

¹⁷ 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 `And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds;

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

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

²¹ 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 `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 and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?

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

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

²⁶ 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 but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'

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

²⁹ 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 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 `it';

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁷ 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 saying, `blessed `is' he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'

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

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

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

⁴² 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 `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 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 And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,

⁴⁶ saying to them, `It hath been written, My house is a house of prayer -- but ye made it a den of robbers.'

⁴⁷ 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 --

⁴⁸ and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.

---

¹ And he entered and passed through Jericho.

² And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.

³ And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.

⁴ And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].

⁵ And when he came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house.

⁶ And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.

⁷ And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.

⁸ But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.

⁹ And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

¹⁰ for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.

¹¹ But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.

¹² He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.

¹³ And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.

¹⁶ And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.

¹⁷ And he said to him, Well [done], thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.

¹⁸ And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.

¹⁹ And he said also to this one, And *thou*, be over five cities.

²⁰ And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.

²¹ For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.

²² He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that *I* am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.

²³ And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and *I* should have received it, at my coming, with interest?

²⁴ And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.

²⁵ And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.

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

²⁷ Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.

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

²⁹ And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰ saying, Go into the village over against [you], in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no [child] of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it [here].

³¹ And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.

³² And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.

³³ And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?

³⁴ And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.

³⁵ And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].

³⁶ And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.

³⁷ And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,

³⁸ saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.

⁴⁰ And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.

⁴¹ And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,

⁴² saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;

⁴³ for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side,

⁴⁴ and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.

⁴⁵ And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,

⁴⁶ saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but *ye* have made it a den of robbers.

⁴⁷ And he was teaching day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

⁴⁸ and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.

---

¹ He entered and was passing through Jericho.

² There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

³ He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn't because of the crowd, because he was short.

⁴ He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree 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."

⁶ He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.

⁷ When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who 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."

⁹ Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save 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 the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.

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

¹³ He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins,{10 minas was more than 3 year's wages for an agricultural laborer.} and told them, 'Conduct business 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.'

¹⁵ "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.

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'

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.'

¹⁸ "The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'

¹⁹ "So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'

²⁰ Another came, saying, 'Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

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.'

²² "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.

²³ Then why didn't you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'

²⁴ He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'

²⁵ "They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas!'

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.

²⁷ But bring those enemies of mine who didn't want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"

²⁸ Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁹ It happened, when he drew near to Bethsphage{TR, NU read "Bethpage" instead of "Bethsphage"} and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, 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, whereon no man ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.

³¹ If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'The Lord needs it.'"

³² Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.

³³ As they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

³⁴ They said, "The Lord needs it."

³⁵ They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.

³⁶ As he went, they spread their cloaks 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,

³⁸ saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!"

³⁹ Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

⁴⁰ He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."

⁴¹ When he drew near, he saw the city and 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.

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,

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."

⁴⁵ He entered into the temple, and began to drive out 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'!"

⁴⁷ He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among 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.

---

¹ And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it,

² A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,

³ Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.

⁴ And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.

⁵ And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

⁶ And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.

⁷ And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.

⁸ And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

⁹ And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.

¹¹ And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away.

¹² So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back.

¹³ And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come.

¹⁴ But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.

¹⁵ And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done.

¹⁶ And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds.

¹⁷ And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.

¹⁸ And another came, saying, Your pound has made five pounds.

¹⁹ And he said, You will be ruler over five towns.

²⁰ And another came, saying, Lord, here is your pound, which I put away in a cloth;

²¹ Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed.

²² He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;

²³ Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest?

²⁴ And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.

²⁵ And they say to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.

²⁶ And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

²⁷ And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me.

²⁸ And when he had said this, he went on in front of them, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁹ And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,

³⁰ Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.

³¹ And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.

³² And those whom he sent went away, and it was as he said.

³³ And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?

³⁴ And they said, The Lord has need of him.

³⁵ And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him.

³⁶ And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him.

³⁷ And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;

³⁸ Saying, A blessing on the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

³⁹ And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

⁴⁰ And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.

⁴¹ And when he got near and saw the town, he was overcome with weeping for it,

⁴² Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them.

⁴³ For the time will come when your attackers will put a wall round you, and come all round you and keep you in on every side,

⁴⁴ And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.

⁴⁵ And he went into the Temple and put out those who were trading there,

⁴⁶ Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves.

⁴⁷ And every day he was teaching in the Temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people were attempting to put him to death;

⁴⁸ But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words.
