3

He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.

who wanted to see who Jesus was, and he could not because of the crowd, for he was a small man.

4

So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree, to see him, for Jesus was coming that way.

5

When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”

7

And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”

And when they saw this, everyone complained, and said, “He has gone to stay with an irreligious man!”

8

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”

But Zaccheus stopped and said to the Master, “See, Master! I will give half my property to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay him four times as much.”

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

11

While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.

As they were listening to this, Jesus went on to give them an illustration, because he was near Jerusalem and they supposed that the Kingdom of God was immediately going to appear.

12

So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

So he said, “A nobleman once went to a distant country to secure his appointment to a kingdom and then return.

13

Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.

And he called in ten of his slaves and gave them each twenty dollars and told them to trade with it while he was gone.

14

But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’

But his countrymen hated him, and they sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man made king over us.’

15

When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

And when he had secured the appointment and returned, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he could find out how much they had made.

16

The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’

The first one came in and said, ‘Your twenty dollars has made two hundred, sir!’

17

His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

And he said to him, ‘Well done, my excellent slave! You have proved trustworthy about a very small amount, you shall be governor of ten towns.’

18

The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’

The second came in and said, ‘Your twenty dollars has made a hundred, sir!’

19

And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’

And he said to him, ‘And you shall be governor of five towns!’

20

Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.

And the other one came in and said, ‘Here is your twenty dollars, sir. I have kept it put away in a handkerchief,

21

For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’

for I was afraid of you, for you are a stern man. You pick up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.’

22

His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?

He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will convict you, you wretched slave! You knew, did you, that I was a stern man, and that I pick up what I did not lay down, and harvest what I did not sow?

23

Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’

Then why did you not put my money in the bank, so that when I came back I could have gotten it with interest?’

24

Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

And he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the twenty dollars away from him, and give it to the man who has the two hundred!’

25

‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

They said to him, ‘He has two hundred, sir!’—

26

He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

‘I tell you, the man who has will have more given him, and from the man who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away!

27

And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”

But bring those enemies of mine here who did not want me made king over them, and slaughter them in my presence!’ ”

28

After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

With these words he went on ahead of them, on his way to Jerusalem.

29

As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,

When he was near Bethphage and Bethany by the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples

30

saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

and said to them, “Go to the village that lies in front of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

31

If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

And if anyone asks you why you are untying it, you are to say, ‘The Master needs it.’

32

So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.

And the messengers went and found it just as he had told them.

33

As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”

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

34

“The Lord needs it,” they answered.

And they said, “The Master needs it!”

35

Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.

And they brought it to Jesus. And they threw their coats on the colt and mounted Jesus on it.

36

As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.

And as he went on, people spread their coats in the road.

37

And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

Just as he was coming down the Mount of Olives and approaching the city, the whole throng of his disciples began to praise God loudly and joyfully, for all the wonders they had seen,

38

“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

and to say, “Blessed is the king who comes in the Lord’s name, Peace be in heaven and glory on high!”

39

But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”

Some Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Master, reprove your disciples!”

40

“I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”

And he answered, “I tell you, if they keep silence, the stones will cry out!”

41

As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it

As he approached the city and saw it, he wept over it,

42

and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

and said, “If you yourself only knew today the conditions of peace! But as it is, they are hidden from you.

43

For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.

For a time is coming upon you when your enemies will throw up earthworks about you and surround you and shut you in on all sides,

44

They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God. ”

and they will throw you and your children within you to the ground, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not know when God visited you!”

47

Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.

Every day he taught in the Temple, and the high priests and scribes and the leading men of the people were trying to destroy him,

Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
