LU-19:1 And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
LU-19:2 And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which
was the chief
among the publicans, and he was rich.
LU-19:3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not
for the press,
because he was little of stature.
LU-19:4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree
to see him: for
he was to pass that [way].
LU-19:5 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.
LU-19:6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him
joyfully.
LU-19:7 And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That
he was gone to
be guest with a man that is a sinner.
LU-19:8 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.
LU-19:9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to
this house,
forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
LU-19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that
which was lost.
LU-19:11 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.
LU-19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far
country to
receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
LU-19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten
pounds, and
said unto them, Occupy till I come.
LU-19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after
him, saying, We
will not have this [man] to reign over us.
LU-19:15 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.
LU-19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath
gained ten pounds.
LU-19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because
thou hast been
faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
LU-19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath
gained five pounds.
LU-19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five
cities.
LU-19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy
pound, which I
have kept laid up in a napkin:
LU-19:21 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.
LU-19:22 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:
LU-19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank,
that at my
coming I might have required mine own with usury?
LU-19:24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the
pound, and
give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
LU-19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
LU-19:26 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.
LU-19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should
reign over
them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
LU-19:28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending
up to
Jerusalem.
LU-19:29 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,
LU-19:30 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].
LU-19:31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus
shall ye say unto
him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
LU-19:32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even
as he had said
unto them.
LU-19:33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof
said unto them,
Why loose ye the colt?
LU-19:34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
LU-19:35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their
garments upon the
colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
LU-19:36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
LU-19:37 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;
LU-19:38 Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name
of the Lord:
peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
LU-19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude
said unto him,
Master, rebuke thy disciples.
LU-19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that,
if these should
hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
LU-19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and
