Lk. 19:1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
Lk. 19:2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief
tax collector and was wealthy.
Lk. 19:3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he
could not, because of the crowd.
Lk. 19:4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him,
since Jesus was coming that way.
Lk. 19:5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him,
“Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your
house today.”
Lk. 19:6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
Lk. 19:7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to
be the guest of a `sinner’.”
Lk. 19:8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord!
Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and
if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back
four times the amount.”

Lk. 19:9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house,
because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
Lk. 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.”
Lk. 19:11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a
parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people
thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at
once.
Lk. 19:12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to
have himself appointed king and then to return.
Lk. 19:13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. [A
mina was about three months’ wages.] `Put this money to
work,’ he said, `until I come back.’
Lk. 19:14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to
say, `We don’t want this man to be our king.’
Lk. 19:15 “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he
sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in
order to find out what they had gained with it.
Lk. 19:16 “The first one came and said, `Sir, your mina has earned ten
more.’
Lk. 19:17 “`Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. `Because
you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge
of ten cities.’
Lk. 19:18 “The second came and said, `Sir, your mina has earned five
more.’
Lk. 19:19 “His master answered, `You take charge of five cities.’
Lk. 19:20 “Then another servant came and said, `Sir, here is your mina;
I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth.
Lk. 19:21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take
out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
Lk. 19:22 “His master replied, `I will judge you by your own words,
you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard
208
man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did
not sow?
Lk. 19:23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when
I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
Lk. 19:24 “Then he said to those standing by, `Take his mina away from
him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
Lk. 19:25 “`Sir,’ they said, `he already has ten!’
Lk. 19:26 “He replied, `I tell you that to everyone who has, more will
be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he
has will be taken away.
Lk. 19:27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be a king
over them — bring them here and kill them in front of me.’“
Lk. 19:28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to
Jerusalem.
Lk. 19:29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called
the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to
them,
Lk. 19:30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will
find a colt tied there, which no-one has ever ridden. Untie it
and bring it here.
Lk. 19:31 If anyone asks you, `Why are you untying it?’ tell him, `The
Lord needs it.’“
Lk. 19:32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had
told them.
Lk. 19:33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why
are you untying the colt?”
Lk. 19:34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
Lk. 19:35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and
put Jesus on it.
Lk. 19:36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
209
Lk. 19:37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the
Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully
to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had
seen:
Lk. 19:38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
[Psalm 118:26] “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Lk. 19:39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher,
rebuke your disciples!”
Lk. 19:40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry
out.”
Lk. 19:41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it
Lk. 19:42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what
would bring you peace — but now it is hidden from your
eyes.
Lk. 19:43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build
an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in
on every side.
Lk. 19:44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within
your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because
you did not recognise the time of God’s coming to you.”
Lk. 19:45 Then he entered the temple area and began driving out those
who were selling.
Lk. 19:46 “It is written,” he said to them, “`My house will be a house of
prayer’; [Isaiah 56:7] but you have made it `a den of
robbers’.” [Jer. 7:11]
Lk. 19:47 Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief
priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the
people were trying to kill him.
Lk. 19:48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the
people hung on his words.
