Luke 19 — DBY
19Verse 1And he entered and passed through Jericho.Verse 2And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.Verse 3And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.Verse 4And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].Verse 5And 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.Verse 6And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.Verse 7And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.Verse 8But 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.Verse 9And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;Verse 10for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.Verse 11But 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.Verse 12He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.Verse 13And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.Verse 14But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.Verse 15And 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.Verse 16And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.Verse 17And 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.Verse 18And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.Verse 19And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.Verse 20And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.Verse 21For 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.Verse 22He 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.Verse 23And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?Verse 24And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.Verse 25And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.Verse 26For 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.Verse 27Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.Verse 28And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.Verse 29And 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,Verse 30saying, 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].Verse 31And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.Verse 32And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.Verse 33And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?Verse 34And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.Verse 35And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].Verse 36And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.Verse 37And 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,Verse 38saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.Verse 39And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.Verse 40And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.Verse 41And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,Verse 42saying, 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;Verse 43for 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,Verse 44and 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.Verse 45And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,Verse 46saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.Verse 47And 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,Verse 48and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.
