Book 42 : LUKE - Chapter 019
019:001
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the
chief among the publicans, and he was rich
019:002
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the
press, because he was little of stature
019:003
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see
him: for he was to pass that way
019:004
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
019:005
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully
019:006
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was
gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner
019:007
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
019:008
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this
house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham
019:009
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was
lost
019:010
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
019:011
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country
to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return
019:012
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds,
and said unto them, Occupy till I come
019:013
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him,
saying, We will not have this man to reign over us
019:014
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
019:015
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten
pounds
019:016
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou
hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over
ten cities
019:017
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five
pounds
019:018
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities
019:019
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound,
which I have kept laid up in a napkin
019:020
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
019:021
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
019:022
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at
my coming I might have required mine own with usury
019:023
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound,
and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
019:024
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.
019:025
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
019:026
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign
over them, bring hither, and slay them before me
019:027
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to
Jerusalem
019:028
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
019:029
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
019:030
And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say
unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him
019:031
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he
had said unto them
019:032
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said
unto them, Why loose ye the colt
019:033
And they said, The Lord hath need of him
019:034
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments
upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon
019:035
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way
019:036
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
019:037
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the
Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest
019:038
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto
him, Master, rebuke thy disciples
019:039
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these
should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out
019:040
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over
it
019:041
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
019:042
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
019:043
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
019:044
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that
sold therein, and them that bought
019:045
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of
prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves
019:046
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and
the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him
019:047
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were
very attentive to hear him
