1 And Jesus en­tered and passed through Jeri­cho. 2 And, be­hold, there was a man named Za­c­cha­eus, which was the chief among the pub­li­cans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Je­sus who he was; and could not for the press, be­cause he was lit­tle of stature. 4 And he ran be­fore, and climbed up into a syco­more tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5 And when Je­sus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Za­c­cha­eus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and re­ceived him joy­ful­ly. 7 And when they saw it, they all mur­mured, say­ing, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sin­ner. 8 And Za­c­cha­eus stood, and said unto the Lord; Be­hold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have tak­en any thing from any man by false ac­cu­sa­tion, I re­store him four­fold. 9 And Je­sus said unto him, This day is sal­va­tion come to this house, for­so­much as he also is a son of Abra­ham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a para­ble, be­cause he was nigh to Jerusalem, and be­cause they thought that the king­dom of God should im­me­di­ate­ly ap­pear. 12 He said there­fore, A cer­tain no­ble­man went into a far coun­try to re­ceive for him­self a king­dom, and to re­turn. 13 And he called his ten ser­vants, and de­liv­ered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Oc­cu­py till I come. 14 But his cit­i­zens hat­ed him, and sent a mes­sage af­ter him, say­ing, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was re­turned, hav­ing re­ceived the king­dom, then he com­mand­ed these ser­vants to be called unto him, to whom he had giv­en the mon­ey, that he might know how much ev­ery man had gained by trad­ing. 16 Then came the first, say­ing, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good ser­vant: be­cause thou hast been faith­ful in a very lit­tle, have thou au­thor­i­ty over ten cities. 18 And the sec­ond came, say­ing, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said like­wise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And an­oth­er came, say­ing, Lord, be­hold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a nap­kin: 21 For I feared thee, be­cause thou art an aus­tere man: thou tak­est up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked ser­vant. Thou knewest that I was an aus­tere man, tak­ing up that I laid not down, and reap­ing that I did not sow: 23 Where­fore then gavest not thou my mon­ey into the bank, that at my com­ing I might have re­quired mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, That unto ev­ery one which hath shall be giv­en; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be tak­en away from him. 27 But those mine en­e­mies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hith­er, and slay them be­fore me. 28 And when he had thus spo­ken, he went be­fore, as­cend­ing up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Beth­phage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his dis­ci­ples, 30 Say­ing, Go ye into the vil­lage over against you; in the which at your en­ter­ing ye shall find a colt tied, where­on yet nev­er man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Be­cause the Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were loos­ing the colt, the own­ers there­of said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to Je­sus: and they cast their gar­ments upon the colt, and they set Je­sus there­on. 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the de­scent of the mount of Olives, the whole mul­ti­tude of the dis­ci­ples be­gan to re­joice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Say­ing, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heav­en, and glo­ry in the high­est. 39 And some of the Phar­isees from among the mul­ti­tude said unto him, Mas­ter, re­buke thy dis­ci­ples. 40 And he an­swered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would im­me­di­ate­ly cry out. 41 And when he was come near, he be­held the city, and wept over it, 42 Say­ing, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine en­e­mies shall cast a trench about thee, and com­pass thee round, and keep thee in on ev­ery side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy chil­dren with­in thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon an­oth­er; be­cause thou knewest not the time of thy vis­i­ta­tion. 45 And he went into the tem­ple, and be­gan to cast out them that sold there­in, and them that bought; 46 Say­ing unto them, It is writ­ten, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47 And he taught dai­ly in the tem­ple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the peo­ple sought to de­stroy him, 48 And could not find what they might do: for all the peo­ple were very at­ten­tive to hear him.
