And Jesus entered
and passed through
Jericho
.
And, behold
, there was a man
named
Zacchaeus
, which
was
the chief among the publicans
, and
he
was
rich
.
And he sought
to see
Jesus
who
he was
; and
could
not
for
the press
, because
he was
little
of stature
.
And he ran
before
, and climbed up
into
a sycomore tree
to
see
him
: for
he was
to pass
that
way .
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
.
And he made haste
, and came down
, and
received
him
joyfully
.
And when they saw
it , they
all
murmured
, saying
, That
he was gone
to be guest
with
a man
that is a sinner
.
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
.
And Jesus
said
unto
him
,
This day
is
salvation
come
to this
house
, forsomuch as
he
also
is
a son
of Abraham
.
For the Son
of man
is come
to seek
and
to save
that which was lost
.
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
.
He said therefore
, A certain
nobleman
went
into
a far
country
to receive
for himself
a kingdom
, and
to return
.
And he called
his
ten
servants
, and delivered
them
ten
pounds
, and
said
unto
them
, Occupy
till
I come
.
But his
citizens
hated
him
, and
sent
a message
after
him
, saying
, We will
not
have
this
man to reign
over
us
.
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
.
Then came
the first
, saying
, Lord
, thy
pound
hath gained
ten
pounds
.
And he said
unto him
, Well
, thou good
servant
: because
thou hast been
faithful
in
a very little
, have
thou authority
over
ten
cities
.
And the second
came
, saying
, Lord
, thy
pound
hath gained
five
pounds
.
And he said
likewise
to him
, Be
thou
also
over
five
cities
.
And another
came
, saying
, Lord
, behold
, here is thy
pound
, which
I have
kept laid up
in
a napkin
:
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
.
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
:
Wherefore then
gavest
not
thou
my
money
into
the bank
, that
at my coming
I
might
have required
mine own
with
usury
?
And he said
unto them that stood by
, Take
from
him
the pound
, and
give
it to him that hath
ten
pounds
.
(And they said
unto him
, Lord
, he hath
ten
pounds
.)
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
.
But those
mine
enemies
, which
would
not
that I
should reign
over
them
, bring
hither
, and
slay
them before
me
.
And when he had thus
spoken
, he went
before
, ascending up
to
Jerusalem
.
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
,
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 .
And if
any man
ask
you
, Why
do ye loose
him ? thus
shall ye say
unto him
, Because
the Lord
hath
need
of him
.
And they that were sent
went their way
, and found
even as
he had said
unto them
.
And as they
were loosing
the colt
, the owners
thereof
said
unto
them
, Why
loose ye
the colt
?
And they said
, The Lord
hath
need
of him
.
And they brought
him
to
Jesus
: and
they cast
their
garments
upon
the colt
, and
they set
Jesus
thereon
.
And as he
went
, they spread
their
clothes
in
the way
.
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
;
Saying, Blessed
be the King
that cometh
in
the name
of the Lord
: peace
in
heaven
, and
glory
in
the highest
.
And some
of the Pharisees
from
among the multitude
said
unto
him
, Master
, rebuke
thy
disciples
.
And he answered
and said
unto them
, I tell
you
that
, if
these
should hold their peace
, the stones
would immediately cry out
.
And when
he was come near
, he beheld
the city
, and wept
over
it
,
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
.
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
,
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
.
And he went
into
the temple
, and began
to cast out
them that sold
therein
, and
them that bought
;
Saying unto them
, It is written
, My
house
is
the house
of prayer
: but
ye
have made
it
a den
of thieves
.
And he taught
daily
in
the temple
. But
the chief priests
and
the scribes
and
the chief
of the people
sought
to destroy
him
,
And could
not
find
what
they might do
: for
all
the people
were very attentive
to hear
him
.
