Lukas 19

1And entering in, he walked through Jericho.

2And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich.

3And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.

4And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way.

5And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.

6And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy.

7And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.

8But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.

9Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

11As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.

12He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.

14But his citizens hated him: and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us.

15And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

17And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.

18And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

19And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.

20And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;

21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.

22He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:

23And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury?

24And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

25And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.

26But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.

27But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and kill them before me.

28And having said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.

29And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethania, unto the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

30Saying: Go into the town which is over against you, at your entering into which you shall find the colt of an ass tied, on which no man ever hath sitten: loose him, and bring him hither.

31And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? you shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.

32And they that were sent, went their way, and found the colt standing, as he had said unto them.

33And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?

34But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.

35And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.

36And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.

37And when he was now coming near the descent of mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,

38Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory on high!

39And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40To whom he said: I say to you, that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

41And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:

42If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace; but now they are hidden from thy eyes.

43For the days shall come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side,

44And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee: and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.

45And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought.

46Saying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.

47And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy him:

48And they found not what to do to him: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

1Et ingressus perambulabat Jericho.

2Et ecce vir nomine Zachæus: et hic princeps erat publicanorum, et ipse dives:

3et quærebat videre Jesum, quis esset: et non poterat præ turba, quia statura pusillus erat.

4Et præcurrens ascendit in arborem sycomorum ut videret eum: quia inde erat transiturus.

5Et cum venisset ad locum, suspiciens Jesus vidit illum, et dixit ad eum: Zachæe, festinans descende: quia hodie in domo tua oportet me manere.

6Et festinans descendit, et excepit illum gaudens.

7Et cum viderent omnes, murmurabant, dicentes quod ad hominem peccatorem divertisset.

8Stans autem Zachæus, dixit ad Dominum: Ecce dimidium bonorum meorum, Domine, do pauperibus: et si quid aliquem defraudavi, reddo quadruplum.

9Ait Jesus ad eum: Quia hodie salus domui huic facta est: eo quod et ipse filius sit Abrahæ.

10Venit enim Filius hominis quærere, et salvum facere quod perierat.

11Hæc illis audientibus adjiciens, dixit parabolam, eo quod esset prope Jerusalem: et quia existimarent quod confestim regnum Dei manifestaretur.

12Dixit ergo: Homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam accipere sibi regnum, et reverti.

13Vocatis autem decem servis suis, dedit eis decem mnas, et ait ad illos: Negotiamini dum venio.

14Cives autem ejus oderant eum: et miserunt legationem post illum, dicentes: Nolumus hunc regnare super nos.

15Et factum est ut rediret accepto regno: et jussit vocari servos, quibus dedit pecuniam, ut sciret quantum quisque negotiatus esset.

16Venit autem primus dicens: Domine, mna tua decem mnas acquisivit.

17Et ait illi: Euge bone serve, quia in modico fuisti fidelis, eris potestatem habens super decem civitates.

18Et alter venit, dicens: Domine, mna tua fecit quinque mnas.

19Et huic ait: Et tu esto super quinque civitates.

20Et alter venit, dicens: Domine, ecce mna tua, quam habui repositam in sudario:

21timui enim te, quia homo austerus es: tollis quod non posuisti, et metis quod non seminasti.

22Dicit ei: De ore tuo te judico, serve nequam. Sciebas quod ego homo austerus sum, tollens quod non posui, et metens quod non seminavi:

23et quare non dedisti pecuniam meam ad mensam, ut ego veniens cum usuris utique exegissem illam?

24Et astantibus dixit: Auferte ab illo mnam, et date illi qui decem mnas habet.

25Et dixerunt ei: Domine, habet decem mnas.

26Dico autem vobis, quia omni habenti dabitur, et abundabit: ab eo autem qui non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.

27Verumtamen inimicos meos illos, qui noluerunt me regnare super se, adducite huc: et interficite ante me.

28Et his dictis, præcedebat ascendens Jerosolymam.

29Et factum est, cum appropinquasset ad Bethphage et Bethaniam, ad montem qui vocatur Oliveti, misit duos discipulos suos,

30dicens: Ite in castellum quod contra est: in quod introëuntes, invenietis pullum asinæ alligatum, cui nemo umquam hominum sedit: solvite illum, et adducite.

31Et si quis vos interrogaverit: Quare solvitis? sic dicetis ei: Quia Dominus operam ejus desiderat.

32Abierunt autem qui missi erant: et invenerunt, sicut dixit illis, stantem pullum.

33Solventibus autem illis pullum, dixerunt domini ejus ad illos: Quid solvitis pullum?

34At illi dixerunt: Quia Dominus eum necessarium habet.

35Et duxerunt illum ad Jesum. Et jacentes vestimenta sua supra pullum, imposuerunt Jesum.

36Eunte autem illo, substernebant vestimenta sua in via:

37et cum appropinquaret jam ad descensum montis Oliveti, cœperunt omnes turbæ discipulorum gaudentes laudare Deum voce magna super omnibus, quas viderant, virtutibus,

38dicentes: Benedictus, qui venit rex in nomine Domini: pax in cælo, et gloria in excelsis.

39Et quidam pharisæorum de turbis dixerunt ad illum: Magister, increpa discipulos tuos.

40Quibus ipse ait: Dico vobis, quia si hi tacuerint, lapides clamabunt.

41Et ut appropinquavit, videns civitatem flevit super illam, dicens:

42Quia si cognovisses et tu, et quidem in hac die tua, quæ ad pacem tibi: nunc autem abscondita sunt ab oculis tuis.

43Quia venient dies in te: et circumdabunt te inimici tui vallo, et circumdabunt te: et coangustabunt te undique:

44et ad terram prosternent te, et filios tuos, qui in te sunt, et non relinquent in te lapidem super lapidem: eo quod non cognoveris tempus visitationis tuæ.

45Et ingressus in templum, cœpit ejicere vendentes in illo, et ementes,

46dicens illis: Scriptum est: Quia domus mea domus orationis est: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.

47Et erat docens quotidie in templo. Principes autem sacerdotum, et scribæ, et princeps plebis quærebant illum perdere:

48et non inveniebant quid facerent illi. Omnis enim populus suspensus erat, audiens illum.

1And having entered, he walked through Jericho.

2And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy.

3And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.

4And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there.

5And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.”

6And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully.

7And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man.

8But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.”

9Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham.

10For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.”

11As they were listening to these things, continuing on, he spoke a parable, because he was nearing Jerusalem, and because they guessed that the kingdom of God might be manifested without delay.

12Therefore, he said: “A certain man of nobility traveled to a far away region, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and he said to them: ‘Do business until I return.’

14But his citizens hated him. And so they sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this one to reign over us.’

15And it happened that he returned, having received the kingdom. And he ordered the servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called so that he would know how much each one had earned by doing business.

16Now the first approached, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned ten pounds.’

17And he said to him: ‘Well done, good servant. Since you have been faithful in a small matter, you will hold authority over ten cities.’

18And the second came, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned five pounds.’

19And he said to him, ‘And so, you shall be over five cities.’

20And another approached, saying: ‘Lord, behold your one pound, which I kept stored in a cloth.

21For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.’

22He said to him: ‘By your own mouth, do I judge you, O 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.

23And so, why did you not give my money to the bank, so that, upon my return, I might have withdrawn it with interest?’

24And he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the pound away from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.’

25And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds.’

26So then, I say to you, that to all who have, it shall be given, and he will have in abundance. And from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

27‘Yet truly, as for those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and put them to death before me.’ ”

28And having said these things, he went ahead, ascending to Jerusalem.

29And it happened that, when he had drawn near to Bethphage and Bethania, to the mount which is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

30saying: “Go into the town which is opposite you. Upon entering it, you will find the colt of a donkey, tied, on which no man has ever sat. Untie it, and lead it here.

31And if anyone will ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this to him: ‘Because the Lord has requested its service.’ ”

32And those who were sent went out, and they found the colt standing, just as he told them.

33Then, as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

34So they said, “Because the Lord has need of it.”

35And they led it to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they helped Jesus onto it.

36Then, as he was traveling, they were laying down their garments along the way.

37And when he was now drawing near to the descent of Mount Olivet, the entire crowd of his disciples began to praise God joyfully, with a loud voice, over all the powerful works which they had seen,

38saying: “Blessed is the king who has arrived in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high!”

39And certain Pharisees within the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”

40And he said to them, “I tell you, that if these will keep silent, the stones themselves will cry out.”

41And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:

42“If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes.

43For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side.

44And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

45And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold in it, and those who bought,

46saying to them: “It is written: ‘My house is a house of prayer.’ But you have made it into a den of robbers.”

47And he was teaching in the temple daily. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the leaders of the people were seeking to destroy him.

48But they could not find what to do to him. For all the people were listening to him attentively.
