1. And he entered and passed through Jericho.
2. And look, a man named Zacchaeus—he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, since he was short in stature.
4. He ran ahead and climbed onto a sycamore tree to see him, because he was about to pass that way.
5. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.”
6. And hurrying, he came down and welcomed him joyfully.
7. And when they saw it, they all began grumbling, saying, "He went to stay with a sinful man."
8. Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I repay fourfold."
9. Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, for he too is a son of Abraham.”
10. For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.
11. As they listened to these things, he spoke a further parable because he was near Jerusalem, and they reckoned that God's kingdom was about to appear at once.
12. He therefore said, "A certain nobleman journeyed to a distant region to receive a kingdom for himself and return."
13. He called ten of his servants, gave them ten minas, and said to them, "Do business until I come."
14. But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, "We do not want this man to reign over us."
15. When he returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, so that he might know what they had gained by trading.
16. Then the first came, saying, "Lord, your mina has gained ten minas."
17. And he said to him, "Well done, good servant! Because you were faithful in very little, have authority over ten cities."
18. And the second came, saying, "Lord, your mina has made five minas."
19. He said also to him, "And you, be over five cities."
20. And another came, saying, "Lord, behold, your mina, which I had laid away in a napkin."
21. For I feared you, because you are a stern man: you take up what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.
22. He said to him, "From your mouth I will judge you, wicked servant! You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow."
23. Then why did you not give my money to the bank, and when I came I would have collected it with interest?
24. And he said to the bystanders, "Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas."
25. And they said to him, "Lord, he has ten minas!"
26. I tell you, to everyone who has more will be given; but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
27. But these enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them—bring them here and slaughter them before me.
28. Having said these things, he went ahead, ascending to Jerusalem.
29. And as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olives, he sent two of his disciples.
30. Saying, “Go into the village opposite, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no man has ever sat; untie it and bring it.”
31. And if anyone asks you, “Why are you untying it?”, say this: “The Lord needs it.”
32. Those who were sent went and found it as he had said to them.
33. As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34. They said, "The Lord has need of it."
35. They brought the colt to Jesus, threw their clothes onto it, and set Jesus on them.
36. As he went, they spread their garments in the road.
37. As he drew near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen.
38. saying, "Blessed is the coming king in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!"
39. Some Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"
40. And answering, he said, "I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out."
41. And as he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it.
42. saying, "If you had known on this day—even you—the things for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes."
43. For days will come upon you when your enemies raise a rampart against you, surround you, and close you in on every side.
44. They will raze you to the ground along with your children within you, and they will not leave stone on stone in you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.
45. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those selling.
46. saying to them, "It stands written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you made it a den of robbers."
47. He was teaching day by day in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men of the people were seeking to destroy him.
48. And they were unable to find what they should do, for all the people hung upon him, listening.
