Luke 19
19Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.G2532G1525G1330G24102A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.G2532G2400G435G3686G2564G2195G2532G846G2258G754G2532G3778G2258G41453He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd.G2532G2212G1492G2424G5101G2076G2532G1410G3756G575G3793G3754G2258G3398G22444So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.G2532G4390G1715G305G1909G4809G2443G1492G846G3754G3195G1330G1223G15655When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today."G2532G5613G2424G2064G1909G5117G308G1492G846G2532G2036G4314G846G2195G4692G2597G1063G4594G3165G1163G3306G1722G4675G36246So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.G2532G4692G2597G2532G5264G846G54637All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.'"G2532G1492G1234G537G1234G3004G3754G1525G2647G3844G435G2688But 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."G1161G2195G2476G2036G4314G2962G2400G2962G2255G3450G5224G1325G4434G2532G1536G4811G1536G5100G4811G591G50739Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3754G4594G1096G4991G1096G5129G3624G2530G846G2532G2076G5207G1110For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."G1063G5207G444G2064G2212G2532G4982G62211While 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.G1161G846G191G5023G4369G2036G3850G1223G846G1511G1451G2419G2532G846G1380G3754G932G2316G3195G3916G39812He said: "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.G2036G3767G5100G444G2104G4198G1519G3117G5561G2983G1438G932G2532G529013So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. 'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.'G1161G2564G1438G1176G1401G1325G846G1176G3414G2532G2036G4314G846G4231G2193G206414"But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, 'We don't want this man to be our king.'G1161G846G4177G3404G846G2532G649G4242G3694G846G3004G2309G3756G2309G5126G936G1909G224815"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.G2532G1096G1722G846G1880G2983G932G2532G2036G5128G1401G5455G846G3739G1325G694G2443G1097G5101G5101G128116"The first one came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten more.'G1161G3854G4413G3004G2962G4675G3414G4333G1176G341417"'Well done, my good servant!' his master replied. 'Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.'G2532G2036G846G2095G18G1401G3754G1096G4103G1722G1646G2192G2468G1849G1883G1176G417218"The second came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned five more.'G2532G1208G2064G3004G2962G4675G3414G4160G4002G341419"His master answered, 'You take charge of five cities.'G1161G2036G2532G5129G1096G4771G2532G1883G4002G417220"Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth.G2532G2087G2064G3004G2962G2400G4675G3414G3739G2192G606G1722G467621I 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.'G1063G5399G4571G3754G1488G840G444G142G3739G5087G3756G5087G2532G2325G3739G4687G3756G468722"His master replied, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?G1161G3004G846G1537G4675G4750G2919G4571G4190G1401G1492G3754G1473G1510G840G444G142G3739G5087G3756G5087G2532G2325G3739G4687G3756G468723Why then didn't you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?'G1302G2532G1325G3756G1325G3450G694G1909G5132G2532G2064G1473G302G4238G846G4862G511024"Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.'G2532G2036G3936G142G575G846G3414G2532G1325G2192G1176G341425"'Sir,' they said, 'he already has ten!'G2532G2036G846G2962G2192G1176G341426"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.G1063G3004G5213G3754G3956G3588G2192G1325G1161G575G2192G3361G2532G3739G2192G142G575G84627But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.'"G4133G1565G3450G2190G3588G2309G3361G3165G936G1909G846G71G5602G2532G2695G1715G345028After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.G2532G5023G2036G4198G1715G305G1519G241429As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them,G2532G1096G5613G1448G1519G967G2532G963G4314G3735G2564G1636G649G1417G846G310130"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.G2036G5217G1519G2968G2713G1722G3739G1531G2147G4454G1210G1909G3739G3762G444G2523G4455G3089G846G7131If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it.'"G2532G1437G5100G2065G5209G1302G3089G3779G2046G846G3754G2962G2192G5532G84632Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.G1161G649G565G2147G2531G2036G84633As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the colt?"G1161G846G3089G4454G2962G846G2036G4314G846G5101G3089G445434They replied, "The Lord needs it."G1161G2036G2962G2192G5532G84635They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it.G2532G71G846G4314G2424G2532G1977G1438G2440G1909G1977G4454G1977G1913G2424G191336As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.G1161G846G4198G5291G846G2440G1722G359837When 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:G846G1448G1161G2235G4314G2600G3735G1636G537G4128G3101G756G5463G134G2316G3173G5456G4012G3956G1411G3739G149238"Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"G3004G2127G935G2064G1722G3686G2962G1515G1722G3772G2532G1391G1722G531039Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"G2532G5100G5330G575G3793G2036G4314G846G1320G2008G4675G310140"I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."G2532G611G2036G846G3004G5213G3754G1437G3778G4623G3037G289641As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over itG2532G5613G1448G1492G4172G2799G1909G84642and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.G3004G3754G1487G1097G2532G4771G2534G1722G5026G4675G2250G3588G4314G4675G1515G1161G3568G2928G575G4675G378843The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.G3754G2250G2240G1909G4571G2532G4675G2190G4016G5482G4016G4671G2532G4033G4571G4033G2532G4912G4571G4912G384044They 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 recognize the time of God's coming to you."G2532G1474G4571G1474G2532G4675G5043G1722G4671G2532G863G3756G863G1722G4671G3037G1909G3037G473G3739G1097G3756G2540G4675G198445Then he entered the temple area and began driving out those who were selling.G2532G1525G1519G2411G756G1544G4453G1722G846G2532G5946"It is written," he said to them, "'My house will be a house of prayer'; but you have made it 'a den of robbers.'"G3004G846G1125G3450G3624G2076G3624G4335G1161G5210G4160G846G4693G302747Every 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.G2532G2258G1321G2596G2250G1722G2411G1161G749G2532G1122G2532G4413G2992G2212G622G84648Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.G2532G2147G3756G2147G5101G4160G1063G537G2992G1582G191G846
