19AND [Jesus] entered Jericho and was passing through it.G2532G1525G1330G24102And there was a man called Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, and [he was] rich.G2532G2400G435G3686G2564G2195G2532G846G2258G754G2532G3778G2258G41453And he was trying to see Jesus, which One He was, but he could not on account of the crowd, because he was small in stature.G2532G2212G1492G2424G5101G2076G2532G1410G3756G575G3793G3754G2258G3398G22444So he ran on ahead and climbed up in a sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass that way.G2532G4390G1715G305G1909G4809G2443G1492G846G3754G3195G1330G1223G15655And when Jesus reached 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 and came down, and he received {and} welcomed Him joyfully.G2532G4692G2597G2532G5264G846G54637And when the people saw it, they all muttered among themselves {and} indignantly complained, He has gone in to be the guest of {and} lodge with a man who is devoted to sin {and} preeminently a sinner.G2532G1492G1234G537G1234G3004G3754G1525G2647G3844G435G2688So then Zacchaeus stood up and solemnly declared to the Lord, See, Lord, the half of my goods I [now] give [by way of restoration] to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone out of anything, I [now] restore four times as much.G1161G2195G2476G2036G4314G2962G2400G2962G2255G3450G5224G1325G4434G2532G1536G4811G1536G5100G4811G591G50739And Jesus said to him, Today is [Messianic and spiritual] salvation come to [all the members of] this household, since Zacchaeus too is a [real spiritual] son of Abraham;G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3754G4594G1096G4991G1096G5129G3624G2530G846G2532G2076G5207G1110For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.G1063G5207G444G2064G2212G2532G4982G62211Now as they were listening to these things, He proceeded to tell a parable, because He was approaching Jerusalem and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to be brought to light {and} shown forth immediately.G1161G846G191G5023G4369G2036G3850G1223G846G1511G1451G2419G2532G846G1380G3754G932G2316G3195G3916G39812He therefore said, A certain nobleman went into a distant country to obtain for himself a kingdom and then to return.G2036G3767G5100G444G2104G4198G1519G3117G5561G2983G1438G932G2532G529013Calling ten of his [own] bond servants, he gave them ten minas [each equal to about one hundred days' wages or nearly twenty dollars] and said to them, Buy {and} sell with these while I go {and} then return.G1161G2564G1438G1176G1401G1325G846G1176G3414G2532G2036G4314G846G4231G2193G206414But his citizens detested him and sent an embassy after him to say, We do not want this man to become ruler over us.G1161G846G4177G3404G846G2532G649G4242G3694G846G3004G2309G3756G2309G5126G936G1909G224815When he returned after having received the kingdom, he ordered these bond servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know how much each one had made by buying {and} selling.G2532G1096G1722G846G1880G2983G932G2532G2036G5128G1401G5455G846G3739G1325G694G2443G1097G5101G5101G128116The first one came before him, and he said, Lord, your mina has made ten [additional] minas.G1161G3854G4413G3004G2962G4675G3414G4333G1176G341417And he said to him, Well done, excellent bond servant! Because you have been faithful {and} trustworthy in a very little [thing], you shall have authority over ten cities.G2532G2036G846G2095G18G1401G3754G1096G4103G1722G1646G2192G2468G1849G1883G1176G417218The second one also came and said, Lord, your mina has made five more minas.G2532G1208G2064G3004G2962G4675G3414G4160G4002G341419And he said also to him, And you will take charge over five cities.G1161G2036G2532G5129G1096G4771G2532G1883G4002G417220Then another came and said, Lord, here is your mina, which I have kept laid up in a handkerchief.G2532G2087G2064G3004G2962G2400G4675G3414G3739G2192G606G1722G467621For I was [constantly] afraid of you, because you are a stern (hard, severe) man; you pick up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.G1063G5399G4571G3754G1488G840G444G142G3739G5087G3756G5087G2532G2325G3739G4687G3756G468722He said to the servant, I will judge {and} condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked slave! You knew [did you] that I was a stern (hard, severe) man, picking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow?G1161G3004G846G1537G4675G4750G2919G4571G4190G1401G1492G3754G1473G1510G840G444G142G3739G5087G3756G5087G2532G2325G3739G4687G3756G468723Then why did you not put my money in a bank, so that on my return, I might have collected it with interest?G1302G2532G1325G3756G1325G3450G694G1909G5132G2532G2064G1473G302G4238G846G4862G511024And he said to the bystanders, Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.G2532G2036G3936G142G575G846G3414G2532G1325G2192G1176G341425And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas [already]!G2532G2036G846G2962G2192G1176G341426And [said Jesus,] I tell you that to everyone who gets {and} has will more be given, but from the man who does not get {and} does not have, even what he has will be taken away.G1063G3004G5213G3754G3956G3588G2192G1325G1161G575G2192G3361G2532G3739G2192G142G575G84627[The indignant king ended by saying] But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them--bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!G4133G1565G3450G2190G3588G2309G3361G3165G936G1909G846G71G5602G2532G2695G1715G345028And after saying these things, Jesus went on ahead of them, going up to Jerusalem.G2532G5023G2036G4198G1715G305G1519G241429When He came near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called [the Mount of] Olives, He sent two of His disciples,G2532G1096G5613G1448G1519G967G2532G963G4314G3735G2564G1636G649G1417G846G310130Telling [them], Go into the village yonder; there, as you go in, you will find a donkey's colt tied, on which no man has ever yet sat. Loose it and bring [it here].G2036G5217G1519G2968G2713G1722G3739G1531G2147G4454G1210G1909G3739G3762G444G2523G4455G3089G846G7131If anybody asks you, Why are you untying [it]? you shall say this: Because the Lord has need of it.G2532G1437G5100G2065G5209G1302G3089G3779G2046G846G3754G2962G2192G5532G84632So those who were sent went away and found it [just] as He had told them.G1161G649G565G2147G2531G2036G84633And as they were loosening the colt, its owners said to them, Why are you untying the colt?G1161G846G3089G4454G2962G846G2036G4314G846G5101G3089G445434And they said, The Lord has need of it.G1161G2036G2962G2192G5532G84635And they brought it to Jesus; then they threw their garments over the colt and set Jesus upon it.G2532G71G846G4314G2424G2532G1977G1438G2440G1909G1977G4454G1977G1913G2424G191336And as He rode along, the people kept spreading their garments on the road. [II Kings 9:13.]G1161G846G4198G5291G846G2440G1722G359837As He was approaching [the city], at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God [extolling Him exultantly and] loudly for all the mighty miracles {and} works of power that they had witnessed,G846G1448G1161G2235G4314G2600G3735G1636G537G4128G3101G756G5463G134G2316G3173G5456G4012G3956G1411G3739G149238Crying, Blessed (celebrated with praises) is the King Who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven [freedom there from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin] and glory (majesty and splendor) in the highest [heaven]!G3004G2127G935G2064G1722G3686G2962G1515G1722G3772G2532G1391G1722G531039And some of the Pharisees from the throng said to Jesus, Teacher, reprove Your disciples!G2532G5100G5330G575G3793G2036G4314G846G1320G2008G4675G310140He replied, I tell you that if these keep silent, the very stones will cry out.G2532G611G2036G846G3004G5213G3754G1437G3778G4623G3037G289641And as He approached, He saw the city, and He wept [audibly] over it,G2532G5613G1448G1492G4172G2799G1909G84642Exclaiming, Would that you had known personally, even at least in this your day, the things that make for peace (for freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin and upon which your peace--your security, safety, prosperity, and happiness--depends)! But now they are hidden from your eyes.G3004G3754G1487G1097G2532G4771G2534G1722G5026G4675G2250G3588G4314G4675G1515G1161G3568G2928G575G4675G378843For a time is coming upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank [with pointed stakes] about you and surround you and shut you in on every side.G3754G2250G2240G1909G4571G2532G4675G2190G4016G5482G4016G4671G2532G4033G4571G4033G2532G4912G4571G4912G384044And they will dash you down to the ground, you [Jerusalem] and your children within you; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, [all] because you did not come progressively to recognize {and} know {and} understand [from observation and experience] the time of your visitation [that is, when God was visiting you, the time in which God showed Himself gracious toward you and offered you salvation through Christ].G2532G1474G4571G1474G2532G4675G5043G1722G4671G2532G863G3756G863G1722G4671G3037G1909G3037G473G3739G1097G3756G2540G4675G198445Then He went into the temple [enclosure] and began to drive out those who were selling,G2532G1525G1519G2411G756G1544G4453G1722G846G2532G5946Telling them, It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer; but you have made it a cave of robbers.G3004G846G1125G3450G3624G2076G3624G4335G1161G5210G4160G846G4693G302747And He continued to teach day after day in the temple [porches and courts]. The chief priests and scribes and the leading men of the people were seeking to put Him to death,G2532G2258G1321G2596G2250G1722G2411G1161G749G2532G1122G2532G4413G2992G2212G622G84648But they did not discover anything they could do, for all the people hung upon His words {and} stuck by Him.G2532G2147G3756G2147G5101G4160G1063G537G2992G1582G191G846
