Lukas 19
Neue Genfer Übersetzung
Ein reicher Zolleinnehmer begegnet Jesus
19 Jesus kam nach Jericho; sein Weg führte ihn mitten durch die Stadt. 2 Zachäus, der oberste Zolleinnehmer, ein reicher Mann, 3 wollte unbedingt sehen, wer dieser Jesus war. Aber es gelang ihm nicht, weil er klein war und die vielen Leute ihm die Sicht versperrten. 4 Da lief er voraus und kletterte auf einen Maulbeerfeigenbaum; Jesus musste dort vorbeikommen, und Zachäus hoffte, ihn dann sehen zu können. 5 Als Jesus an dem Baum vorüberkam, schaute er hinauf und rief: »Zachäus, komm schnell herunter! Ich muss heute in deinem Haus zu Gast sein.« 6 So schnell er konnte, stieg Zachäus vom Baum herab, und er nahm Jesus voller Freude bei sich auf.
7 Die Leute waren alle empört, als sie das sahen. »Wie kann er sich nur von solch einem Sünder einladen lassen!«, sagten sie. 8 Zachäus aber trat vor den Herrn und sagte zu ihm: »Herr, die Hälfte meines Besitzes will ich den Armen geben, und wenn ich von jemand etwas erpresst habe[a], gebe ich ihm das Vierfache zurück.« 9 Da sagte Jesus zu[b] Zachäus: »Der heutige Tag hat diesem Haus Rettung gebracht. Denn«, fügte er hinzu, »dieser Mann ist doch auch ein Sohn Abrahams. 10 Und[c] der Menschensohn ist gekommen, um zu suchen und zu retten, was verloren ist.«
Das Gleichnis vom anvertrauten Geld
11 Jesus fuhr mit einem Gleichnis fort. Weil er so nahe vor Jerusalem war, meinten seine Zuhörer[d] nämlich, der Anbruch[e] des Reiches Gottes stehe unmittelbar bevor.
12 Er sagte: »Ein Mann aus vornehmer Familie reiste in ein fernes Land, um sich dort zum König über sein eigenes Land einsetzen zu lassen und dann zurückzukehren. 13 Vor der Abreise rief er zehn seiner Diener zu sich und gab ihnen Geld, jedem ein Pfund[f]. ›Arbeitet damit, bis ich wiederkomme!‹, sagte er.
14 Doch die Bürger des Landes hassten ihn. Sie schickten eine Abordnung hinter ihm her und ließen erklären: ›Wir wollen nicht, dass dieser Mann König über uns wird.‹
15 Trotzdem wurde er zum König eingesetzt. Nach seiner Rückkehr ließ er die Diener rufen, denen er das Geld anvertraut hatte; er wollte erfahren, welchen Gewinn sie damit erzielt hatten.
16 Der erste erschien vor ihm und sagte: ›Herr, dein Pfund hat zehn weitere eingebracht.‹ – 17 ›Sehr gut‹, erwiderte der Herr, ›du bist ein tüchtiger Diener. Weil du im Kleinsten treu gewesen bist, sollst du Verwalter von zehn Städten werden.‹
18 Der zweite kam und sagte: ›Herr, dein Pfund hat fünf weitere eingebracht.‹ 19 Auch ihn ´lobte` der Herr. ›Du sollst über fünf Städte bestimmen‹, sagte er.
20 Doch der nächste, der kam, erklärte: ›Herr, hier hast du dein Pfund zurück. Ich habe es in einem Tuch aufbewahrt. 21 Ich hatte nämlich Angst vor dir, weil du ein strenger Mann bist. Du forderst Gewinn, wo du nichts angelegt hast[g], und erntest, wo du nicht gesät hast.‹ 22 Sein Herr entgegnete ihm: ›Mit deinen eigenen Worten sprichst du dir das Urteil, du böser Mensch![h] Du hast also gewusst, dass ich ein strenger Mann bin, dass ich Gewinn fordere, wo ich nichts angelegt habe, und ernte, wo ich nicht gesät habe. 23 Warum hast du mein Geld da nicht ´wenigstens` auf die Bank gebracht? Dann hätte ich es bei meiner Rückkehr mit Zinsen zurückfordern können.‹ 24 Und er wandte sich zu den Umstehenden und sagte: ›Nehmt ihm das Pfund weg und gebt es dem, der die zehn Pfund hat!‹ – 25 ›Aber Herr‹, wandten sie ein, ›er hat doch schon zehn!‹ – 26 ›Ich sage euch‹, erwiderte er, ›jedem, der hat, wird gegeben; wer aber nicht hat, dem wird auch das genommen, was er hat.
27 Und nun zu meinen Feinden, die nicht wollten, dass ich über sie herrsche: Holt sie her und bringt sie vor meinen Augen um!‹«
Der Einzug in Jerusalem
28 Nachdem Jesus dieses Gleichnis erzählt hatte, setzte er seine Reise hinauf nach Jerusalem fort[i]. 29 Als er nicht mehr weit von Betfage und Betanien am Ölberg war, schickte er zwei seiner Jünger voraus. 30 Er gab ihnen folgende Anweisung: »Geht in das Dorf, das ihr vor euch seht. Beim Ortseingang werdet ihr einen Esel finden, der angebunden ist, ein junges Tier[j], auf dem noch nie ein Mensch geritten ist. Bindet es los und führt es her. 31 Und sollte euch jemand fragen, warum ihr es losbindet, dann antwortet: ›Der Herr braucht es.‹«
32 Die beiden machten sich auf den Weg und fanden alles so, wie Jesus es ihnen beschrieben hatte. 33 Als sie das Tier losbanden, fragten die Leute, denen es gehörte: »Warum bindet ihr es los?« – 34 »Der Herr braucht es«, antworteten sie. 35 Sie brachten den Esel zu Jesus, legten ihre Mäntel über das Tier und ließen Jesus aufsteigen. 36 Während er nun so seinen Weg fortsetzte, breiteten die Leute[k] ihre Mäntel auf der Straße aus.
37 Als er das Wegstück erreichte, das vom Ölberg zur Stadt hinunterführt, brach die ganze Schar der Jünger in Freudenrufe aus; mit lauter Stimme priesen sie Gott für all die Wunder, die sie miterlebt hatten.
38 »›Gesegnet sei er, der König,
der im Namen des Herrn kommt!‹[l]«
riefen sie.
»Frieden bei dem, der im Himmel ist,
Ehre dem, der droben in der Höhe wohnt![m]«
39 Einige Pharisäer aus der Menge erhoben Einspruch. »Meister«, sagten sie zu Jesus, »verbiete es deinen Jüngern, so zu reden!« 40 Doch Jesus gab ihnen zur Antwort: »Ich sage euch: Wenn sie schweigen, werden die Steine schreien!«
Jesus weint über Jerusalem
41 Als Jesus sich nun der Stadt näherte und sie vor sich liegen sah, weinte er über sie 42 und sagte: »Wenn doch auch du am heutigen Tag erkannt hättest[n], was dir Frieden bringen würde! Nun aber ist es dir verborgen, du siehst es nicht. 43 Es kommt für dich eine Zeit, da werden deine Feinde rings um dich einen Wall aufwerfen, dich belagern und dich von allen Seiten bedrängen. 44 Sie werden dich zerstören und deine Kinder[o], die in dir wohnen, zerschmettern und werden in der ganzen Stadt[p] keinen Stein auf dem anderen lassen, weil du die Zeit, in der Gott dir begegnete,[q] nicht erkannt hast.«
Jesus im Tempel
45 Jesus ging in den Tempel und fing an, alle hinauszuweisen, die dort Handel trieben. 46 Er sagte zu ihnen: »Es heißt in der Schrift: ›Mein Haus soll ein Haus des Gebetes sein.‹[r] Ihr aber habt eine Räuberhöhle daraus gemacht!«
47 Tag für Tag lehrte Jesus im Tempel. Die führenden Priester und die Schriftgelehrten jedoch sowie die anderen führenden Männer des Volkes suchten nach einer Möglichkeit, ihn zu beseitigen. 48 Aber sie wussten nicht, wie sie es anfangen sollten; denn das ganze Volk hing an ihm und ließ sich keines seiner Worte entgehen[s].

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Jesus and Zacchaeus
19 He entered Jericho and was passing through it. 2 A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax-collector and was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycomore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.’ 6 So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. 7 All who saw it began to grumble and said, ‘He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.’ 8 Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, ‘Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.’ 9 Then Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.’
The Parable of the Ten Pounds
11 As they were listening to this, he went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. 12 So he said, ‘A nobleman went to a distant country to get royal power for himself and then return. 13 He summoned ten of his slaves, and gave them ten pounds,[a] and said to them, “Do business with these until I come back.” 14 But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, “We do not want this man to rule over us.” 15 When he returned, having received royal power, he ordered these slaves, to whom he had given the money, to be summoned so that he might find out what they had gained by trading. 16 The first came forward and said, “Lord, your pound has made ten more pounds.” 17 He said to him, “Well done, good slave! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.” 18 Then the second came, saying, “Lord, your pound has made five pounds.” 19 He said to him, “And you, rule over five cities.” 20 Then the other came, saying, “Lord, here is your pound. I wrapped it up in a piece of cloth, 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man; you take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.” 22 He said to him, “I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! You knew, did you, that I was a harsh man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then did you not put my money into the bank? Then when I returned, I could have collected it with interest.” 24 He said to the bystanders, “Take the pound from him and give it to the one who has ten pounds.” 25 (And they said to him, “Lord, he has ten pounds!”) 26 “I tell you, to all those who have, more will be given; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence.”’
Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem
28 After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, ‘Go into the village ahead 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 you, “Why are you untying it?” just say this: “The Lord needs it.”’ 32 So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’ 34 They said, ‘The Lord needs it.’ 35 Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, 38 saying,
‘Blessed is the king
    who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven,
    and glory in the highest heaven!’
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, ‘Teacher, order your disciples to stop.’ 40 He answered, ‘I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.’
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 As he came near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42 saying, ‘If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 Indeed, the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem you in on every side. 44 They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.’[b]
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
45 Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there; 46 and he said, ‘It is written,
“My house shall be a house of prayer”;
    but you have made it a den of robbers.’
47 Every day he was teaching in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him; 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.

A rich tax collector
19 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through town. 2 A man there named Zacchaeus, a ruler among tax collectors, was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but, being a short man, he couldn’t because of the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed up a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came to that spot, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down at once. I must stay in your home today.” 6 So Zacchaeus came down at once, happy to welcome Jesus.
7 Everyone who saw this grumbled, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
8 Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my possessions to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone, I repay them four times as much.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this household because he too is a son of Abraham. 10 The Human One[a] came to seek and save the lost.”
Faithful service
11 As they listened to this, Jesus told them another parable because he was near Jerusalem and they thought God’s kingdom would appear right away. 12 He said, “A certain man who was born into royalty went to a distant land to receive his kingdom and then return. 13 He called together ten servants and gave each of them money worth four months’ wages.[b] He said, ‘Do business with this until I return.’ 14 His citizens hated him, so they sent a representative after him who said, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’ 15 After receiving his kingdom, he returned and called the servants to whom he had given the money to find out how much they had earned. 16 The first servant came forward and said, ‘Your money has earned a return of one thousand percent.’ 17 The king replied, ‘Excellent! You are a good servant. Because you have been faithful in a small matter, you will have authority over ten cities.’
18 “The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your money has made a return of five hundred percent.’ 19 To this one, the king said, ‘You will have authority over five cities.’
20 “Another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your money. I wrapped it up in a scarf for safekeeping. 21 I was afraid of you because you are a stern man. You withdraw what you haven’t deposited and you harvest what you haven’t planted.’ 22 The king replied, ‘I will judge you by the words of your own mouth, you worthless servant! You knew, did you, that I’m a stern man, withdrawing what I didn’t deposit, and harvesting what I didn’t plant? 23 Why then didn’t you put my money in the bank? Then when I arrived, at least I could have gotten it back with interest.’
24 “He said to his attendants, ‘Take his money and give it to the one who has ten times as much.’ 25 ‘But Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten times as much!’ 26 He replied, ‘I say to you that everyone who has will be given more, but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 As for my enemies who don’t want me as their king, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’”
28 After Jesus said this, he continued on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Procession into Jerusalem
29 As Jesus came to Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he gave two disciples a task. 30 He said, “Go into the village over there. When you enter it, you will find tied up there a colt that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘Its master needs it.’” 32 Those who had been sent found it exactly as he had said.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 They replied, “Its master needs it.” 35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their clothes on the colt, and lifted Jesus onto it. 36 As Jesus rode along, they spread their clothes on the road.
37 As Jesus approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives, the whole throng of his disciples began rejoicing. They praised God with a loud voice because of all the mighty things they had seen. 38 They said,
“Blessings on the king who comes in the name of the Lord.
    Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heavens.”
39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, scold your disciples! Tell them to stop!”
40 He answered, “I tell you, if they were silent, the stones would shout.”
Jesus predicts Jerusalem’s destruction
41 As Jesus came to the city and observed it, he wept over it. 42 He said, “If only you knew on this of all days the things that lead to peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 The time will come when your enemies will build fortifications around you, encircle you, and attack you from all sides. 44 They will crush you completely, you and the people within you. They won’t leave one stone on top of another within you, because you didn’t recognize the time of your gracious visit from God.”
Jesus clears the temple
45 When Jesus entered the temple, he threw out those who were selling things there. 46 He said to them, “It’s written, My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hideout for crooks.”[c]
47 Jesus was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests, the legal experts, and the foremost leaders among the people were seeking to kill him. 48 However, they couldn’t find a way to do it because all the people were enthralled with what they heard.

Zacchaeus the Tax Collector
19 Jesus entered Jericho(A) and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig(B) tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.(C)
5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”(D)
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord,(E) “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything,(F) I will pay back four times the amount.”(G)
9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.(H) 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”(I)
The Parable of the Ten Minas(J)
11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God(K) was going to appear at once.(L) 12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants(M) and gave them ten minas.[a] ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15 “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
16 “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17 “‘Well done, my good servant!’(N) his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’(O)
18 “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
19 “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
20 “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’(P)
22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words,(Q) you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?(R) 23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
24 “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25 “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.(S) 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(T)(U)
28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.(V) 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany(W) at the hill called the Mount of Olives,(X) he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.(Y) 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks(Z) on the road.
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,(AA) the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”(AC)
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”(AD)
40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”(AE)
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it(AF) 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.(AG) 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls.(AH) They will not leave one stone on another,(AI) because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming(AJ) to you.”
Jesus at the Temple(AK)
45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’[c];(AL) but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d]”(AM)
47 Every day he was teaching at the temple.(AN) But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him.(AO) 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
