And he entered and was passing through Jericho;
and behold a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer and he was rich.
And he was seeking to see Jesus who he was, and could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.
And he ran on before and got up a sycamore that he might see him, because he was going to pass that [way].
And when he came to the place, Jesus looking up saw him and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for Today I must abide in thy house.
And making haste he came down and received him joyfully.
And when they saw [it] they all murmured, saying that he had turned in to lodge with a sinful man.
And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have by false accusation exacted anything of any man, I restore fourfold.
And Jesus said to him, Today salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham:
for the Son of man came to seek and to save that which is lost.
But as they were hearing these things, he in addition spoke a parable because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be manifested immediately.
He said therefore, A certain high-born man went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
And he called ten of his own bondmen and delivered them ten minas, and said unto them, Trade while I am coming.
But his citizens hated him and sent a message after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.
And it came to pass on his return, having received the kingdom, that he desired his bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him in order that he might know what each had gained by trading.
And the first came up saying, Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.
And 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.
And the second came saying, Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.
And the other came, saying, Lord, behold thy mina which I kept laid up in a napkin.
For I feared thee, because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and reapest what thou didst now sow.
He says to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, wicked bondman. Thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow.
And why gavest thou not my money into a bank, and at my coming I should have received it with interest?
And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him that hath ten.
And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
I say unto you, that to everyone that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not that even which he hath shall be taken.
Moreover, those mine enemies who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.
And when he had said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
And it came to pass when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, towards the mountain called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
saying, Go away into the village over against you; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, on which not one of men ever sat: loose and bring it.
And if anyone ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of it.
And they that were sent, having gone away, found even as he had said to them.
And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
And they said, Because the Lord hath need of it.
And they brought it to Jesus; and, having cast their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon;
and, as he went, they strewed their garments in the way.
And as he was drawing near, already at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began with rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
saying, Blessed the King that cometh in Jehovah’s name: in heaven peace, and glory in [the] highest.
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
And answering he said, I say unto you that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
And when he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it,
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes.
For days shall come upon thee that thine enemies shall make a rampart about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side,
and level thee with the ground and thy children in thee; and not leave in thee stone upon stone; because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.
And entering into the temple he began to cast out those that sold,
saying to them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
And he was teaching day by day in the temple; and the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him,
and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him while hearing.
