19He entered Jericho and was passing through it.G2532G1525G1330G24102A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich.G2532G2400G435G3686G2564G2195G2532G846G2258G754G2532G3778G2258G41453He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature.G2532G2212G1492G2424G5101G2076G2532G1410G3756G575G3793G3754G2258G3398G22444So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way.G2532G4390G1715G305G1909G4809G2443G1492G846G3754G3195G1330G1223G15655When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today."G2532G5613G2424G2064G1909G5117G308G1492G846G2532G2036G4314G846G2195G4692G2597G1063G4594G3165G1163G3306G1722G4675G36246So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him.G2532G4692G2597G2532G5264G846G54637All who saw it began to grumble and said, "He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner."G2532G1492G1234G537G1234G3004G3754G1525G2647G3844G435G2688Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, "Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much."G1161G2195G2476G2036G4314G2962G2400G2962G2255G3450G5224G1325G4434G2532G1536G4811G1536G5100G4811G591G50739Then Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham.G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3754G4594G1096G4991G1096G5129G3624G2530G846G2532G2076G5207G1110For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost."G1063G5207G444G2064G2212G2532G4982G62211As they were listening to this, he went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.G1161G846G191G5023G4369G2036G3850G1223G846G1511G1451G2419G2532G846G1380G3754G932G2316G3195G3916G39812So he said, "A nobleman went to a distant country to get royal power for himself and then return.G2036G3767G5100G444G2104G4198G1519G3117G5561G2983G1438G932G2532G529013He summoned ten of his slaves, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, 'Do business with these until I come back.'G1161G2564G1438G1176G1401G1325G846G1176G3414G2532G2036G4314G846G4231G2193G206414But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to rule over us.'G1161G846G4177G3404G846G2532G649G4242G3694G846G3004G2309G3756G2309G5126G936G1909G224815When he returned, having received royal power, he ordered these slaves, to whom he had given the money, to be summoned so that he might find out what they had gained by trading.G2532G1096G1722G846G1880G2983G932G2532G2036G5128G1401G5455G846G3739G1325G694G2443G1097G5101G5101G128116The first came forward and said, 'Lord, your pound has made ten more pounds.'G1161G3854G4413G3004G2962G4675G3414G4333G1176G341417He said to him, 'Well done, good slave! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.'G2532G2036G846G2095G18G1401G3754G1096G4103G1722G1646G2192G2468G1849G1883G1176G417218Then the second came, saying, 'Lord, your pound has made five pounds.'G2532G1208G2064G3004G2962G4675G3414G4160G4002G341419He said to him, 'And you, rule over five cities.'G1161G2036G2532G5129G1096G4771G2532G1883G4002G417220Then the other came, saying, 'Lord, here is your pound. I wrapped it up in a piece of cloth,G2532G2087G2064G3004G2962G2400G4675G3414G3739G2192G606G1722G467621for I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man; you take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.'G1063G5399G4571G3754G1488G840G444G142G3739G5087G3756G5087G2532G2325G3739G4687G3756G468722He said to him, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! You knew, did you, that I was a harsh man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?G1161G3004G846G1537G4675G4750G2919G4571G4190G1401G1492G3754G1473G1510G840G444G142G3739G5087G3756G5087G2532G2325G3739G4687G3756G468723Why then did you not put my money into the bank? Then when I returned, I could have collected it with interest.'G1302G2532G1325G3756G1325G3450G694G1909G5132G2532G2064G1473G302G4238G846G4862G511024He said to the bystanders, 'Take the pound from him and give it to the one who has ten pounds.'G2532G2036G3936G142G575G846G3414G2532G1325G2192G1176G341425(And they said to him, 'Lord, he has ten pounds!')G2532G2036G846G2962G2192G1176G341426'I tell you, to all those who have, more will be given; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.G1063G3004G5213G3754G3956G3588G2192G1325G1161G575G2192G3361G2532G3739G2192G142G575G84627But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence.'"G4133G1565G3450G2190G3588G2309G3361G3165G936G1909G846G71G5602G2532G2695G1715G345028After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.G2532G5023G2036G4198G1715G305G1519G241429When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,G2532G1096G5613G1448G1519G967G2532G963G4314G3735G2564G1636G649G1417G846G310130saying, "Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.G2036G5217G1519G2968G2713G1722G3739G1531G2147G4454G1210G1909G3739G3762G444G2523G4455G3089G846G7131If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' just say this, 'The Lord needs it.'"G2532G1437G5100G2065G5209G1302G3089G3779G2046G846G3754G2962G2192G5532G84632So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them.G1161G649G565G2147G2531G2036G84633As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the colt?"G1161G846G3089G4454G2962G846G2036G4314G846G5101G3089G445434They said, "The Lord needs it."G1161G2036G2962G2192G5532G84635Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.G2532G71G846G4314G2424G2532G1977G1438G2440G1909G1977G4454G1977G1913G2424G191336As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road.G1161G846G4198G5291G846G2440G1722G359837As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen,G846G1448G1161G2235G4314G2600G3735G1636G537G4128G3101G756G5463G134G2316G3173G5456G4012G3956G1411G3739G149238saying, "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!"G3004G2127G935G2064G1722G3686G2962G1515G1722G3772G2532G1391G1722G531039Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, order your disciples to stop."G2532G5100G5330G575G3793G2036G4314G846G1320G2008G4675G310140He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out."G2532G611G2036G846G3004G5213G3754G1437G3778G4623G3037G289641As he came near and saw the city, he wept over it,G2532G5613G1448G1492G4172G2799G1909G84642saying, "If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.G3004G3754G1487G1097G2532G4771G2534G1722G5026G4675G2250G3588G4314G4675G1515G1161G3568G2928G575G4675G378843Indeed, the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem you in on every side.G3754G2250G2240G1909G4571G2532G4675G2190G4016G5482G4016G4671G2532G4033G4571G4033G2532G4912G4571G4912G384044They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God."G2532G1474G4571G1474G2532G4675G5043G1722G4671G2532G863G3756G863G1722G4671G3037G1909G3037G473G3739G1097G3756G2540G4675G198445Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there;G2532G1525G1519G2411G756G1544G4453G1722G846G2532G5946and he said, "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers."G3004G846G1125G3450G3624G2076G3624G4335G1161G5210G4160G846G4693G302747Every day he was teaching in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him;G2532G2258G1321G2596G2250G1722G2411G1161G749G2532G1122G2532G4413G2992G2212G622G84648but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.G2532G2147G3756G2147G5101G4160G1063G537G2992G1582G191G846
