New Vietnamese Bible
Xa-chê Gặp Chúa
19 Vào đến Giê-ri-cô, Đức Giê-su đi ngang qua thành phố. 2 Tại đó, có một người tên Xa-chê, làm trưởng đoàn thu thuế rất giàu có. 3 Ông muốn nhìn xem Đức Giê-su là ai nhưng không được, vì dân chúng đông đảo mà ông lại thấp bé. 4 Ông chạy trước leo lên một cây sung,[a] để có thể nhìn thấy Ngài vì Ngài sắp đi qua đó.
5 Khi đến chỗ ấy, Đức Giê-su nhìn lên bảo: “Xa-chê, hãy xuống mau vì hôm nay Ta phải ghé lại nhà con!” 6 Xa-chê vội vàng tụt xuống, mừng rỡ tiếp đón Ngài.
7 Mọi người thấy vậy đều lầm bầm: “Ông ấy vào nhà kẻ tội lỗi mà trọ!”
8 Nhưng Xa-chê đứng dậy thưa với Chúa: “Lạy Chúa, đây này, con xin phân phát một nửa tài sản của con cho người nghèo khổ, và nếu con có bóc lột ai bất cứ điều gì, con xin bồi thường gấp tư!”
9 Đức Giê-su bảo Xa-chê: “Hôm nay, sự cứu rỗi đã vào nhà này, vì người cũng là con cháu Áp-ra-ham. 10 Vì Con Người đã đến, tìm và cứu kẻ bị hư mất.”
Ví Dụ Về Mười Mi-na Bạc(A)
11 Vì lúc ấy, Đức Giê-su tới gần Giê-ru-sa-lem và dân chúng tưởng Nước Đức Chúa Trời sắp xuất hiện đến nơi, nên khi họ đang nghe Ngài dạy, Ngài kể thêm một ngụ ngôn sau đây: 12 “Một thái tử đi phương xa để được phong vương[b] rồi mới về nước. 13 Ông gọi mười đầy tớ đến, giao cho họ mười mi-na bạc[c] và bảo: ‘Hãy kinh doanh cho đến khi ta về!’
14 Nhưng dân ghét thái tử, nên cử một phái đoàn theo sau đưa thỉnh nguyện: ‘Chúng tôi không muốn thái tử này cai trị chúng tôi.’
15 Sau khi thụ phong, tân vương quay về, cho gọi những đầy tớ đã được giao bạc đến, để xem mỗi người làm lợi được bao nhiêu.
16 Đầy tớ thứ nhất đến thưa: ‘Thưa, mi-na bạc của ngài sinh lợi được mười mi-na.’
17 Vua khen: ‘Được lắm, đầy tớ giỏi của ta. Vì ngươi trung tín trong việc nhỏ nên ngươi sẽ được quản trị mười thành.’
18 Đầy tớ thứ hai đến trình: ‘Thưa, mi-na bạc của ngài sinh lợi được năm mi-na.’
19 Vua đáp: ‘Ngươi sẽ được quản trị năm thành!’
20 Một đầy tớ khác đến thưa: ‘Thưa, đây là mi-na bạc của ngài, con đã gói cất trong khăn, 21 vì con sợ ngài; bởi ngài là người nghiêm ngặt, lấy những gì không đặt, lại gặt những gì không gieo!’
22 Vua phán: ‘Ta căn cứ vào lời ngươi mà xét xử ngươi, tên đầy tớ gian ác kia! Ngươi đã biết ta nghiêm ngặt, lấy những gì ta không đặt, lại gặt những gì ta không gieo, phải không? 23 Thế sao ngươi không gửi bạc ta vào ngân hàng,[d] để khi ta về, ta có thể thu lại cả vốn lẫn lời?’
24 Rồi vua ra lệnh cho các người hầu cận: ‘Hãy lấy mi-na bạc của nó mà cho người có mười mi-na.’
25 Họ tâu: ‘Thưa, người ấy đã có mười mi-na rồi!’
26 Vua phán: ‘Ta bảo cho các ngươi biết, ai đã có sẽ được cho thêm; nhưng ai không có sẽ bị lấy mất luôn điều gì họ có. 27 Còn những tên chống nghịch, không muốn ta cai trị, hãy giải chúng đến đây mà xử tử trước mặt ta.’ ”
Chúa Vào Giê-ru-sa-lem Cách Khải Hoàn
28 Dạy xong những điều ấy, Đức Giê-su dẫn đầu đoàn dân đi lên Giê-ru-sa-lem. 29 Khi đến gần làng Bết-pha-giê và Bê-tha-ni, bên núi Ô-liu, Ngài sai hai môn đệ đi, và dặn rằng: 30 “Các con hãy vào làng trước mặt, sẽ thấy một con lừa con đang cột ở đó, chưa từng có ai cưỡi. Hãy mở dây dắt nó về đây. 31 Nếu ai hỏi: ‘Tại sao các anh mở lừa ra?’ các con cứ đáp: ‘Vì Chúa cần nó.’ ”
32 Các môn đệ ấy[e] ra đi, gặp đúng như điều Ngài đã báo trước. 33 Khi họ đang tháo lừa con, các người chủ nó hỏi: “Tại sao các anh tháo lừa con ra?”
34 Họ đáp: “Vì Chúa cần nó!”
35 Họ dắt lừa con về cho Đức Giê-su, phủ áo mình trên lưng lừa, rồi đỡ Ngài lên cưỡi. 36 Ngài cưỡi lừa đi, nhiều người trải áo mình ra trên đường.
37 Lúc đến gần sườn núi Ô-liu, cả đoàn môn đệ đông đảo đều mừng rỡ lớn tiếng ca ngợi Đức Chúa Trời về những việc quyền năng họ đã được chứng kiến. Họ tung hô:
38 “Phước cho Đức Vua, Đấng nhân danh Chúa mà đến,
Bình an trên trời, vinh quang trên các nơi chí cao!”[f]
39 Vài người Pha-ri-si trong đám đông nói: “Thưa Thầy, xin quở trách các môn đệ Thầy!”
40 Chúa đáp: “Ta bảo cho các người biết: Nếu họ nín lặng, đá sẽ tung hô!”
41 Khi đến gần, nhìn thấy thành phố, Ngài khóc cho nó, 42 rằng: “Ước chi hôm nay chính ngươi biết được điều gì đem lại cho mình sự bình an! Nhưng bây giờ, những điều ấy bị che khuất, mắt ngươi không nhìn thấy được. 43 Vì sẽ có ngày, địch quân kéo đến, đắp lũy, bao vây ngươi và đồng loạt tấn công[g] tất cả các mặt; 44 chúng sẽ phá đổ ngươi và con cái trong thành ngươi ra bình địa, chúng sẽ không để tảng đá nào chồng lên tảng đá nào, vì ngươi đã không nhận biết thời điểm ngươi được thăm viếng.”[h]
Dẹp Sạch Đền Thờ(B)
45 Đức Giê-su vào đền thờ, xua đuổi những kẻ buôn bán ở đó, 46 và quở trách họ: “Kinh Thánh chép: ‘Nhà Ta là nhà cầu nguyện, nhưng các ngươi đã biến thành sào huyệt trộm cướp!’ ”
47 Hằng ngày, Ngài dạy dỗ trong đền thờ; nhưng các thượng tế, các giáo sư Kinh Luật, và các nhà lãnh đạo dân chúng tìm cách giết Ngài, 48 song chưa tìm dược phương kế vì tất cả dân chúng đều say mê nghe Ngài giảng dạy.

New International Version
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.

English Standard Version
Jesus and Zacchaeus
19 (A)He entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. 3 And (B)he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. 4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into (C)a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for (D)I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he hurried and came down and (E)received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all (F)grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8 And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods (G)I give to the poor. And if I have (H)defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it (I)fourfold.” 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since (J)he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For (K)the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
The Parable of the Ten Minas
11 As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because (L)they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. 12 He said therefore, (M)“A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. 13 Calling (N)ten of his servants,[a] he gave them ten minas,[b] and said to them, ‘Engage in business (O)until I come.’ 14 But (P)his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ 15 When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business. 16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant![c] Because you have been (Q)faithful in a very little, (R)you shall have authority over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made five minas.’ 19 And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’ 20 Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in (S)a handkerchief; 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are (T)a severe man. You take (U)what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 He said to him, (V)‘I will condemn you with your own words, (W)you wicked servant! You knew that I was (X)a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’ 24 And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’ 25 And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’ 26 ‘I tell you that (Y)to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 27 But (Z)as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and (AA)slaughter them before me.’”
The Triumphal Entry
28 And when he had said these things, (AB)he went on ahead, (AC)going up to Jerusalem. 29 (AD)When he drew near to Bethphage and (AE)Bethany, at (AF)the mount that is called Olivet, he sent (AG)two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, (AH)on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32 So those who were sent went away and found it (AI)just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they (AJ)spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—(AK)the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice (AL)for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, (AM)“Blessed is (AN)the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and (AO)glory in the highest!” 39 (AP)And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, (AQ)the very stones would cry out.”
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 (AR)And when he drew near and saw the city, (AS)he wept over it, 42 saying, (AT)“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now (AU)they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For (AV)the days will come upon you, when your enemies (AW)will set up a barricade around you and (AX)surround you and hem you in on every side 44 (AY)and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And (AZ)they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know (BA)the time of your (BB)visitation.”
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
45 (BC)And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying to them, “It is written, (BD)‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but (BE)you have made it a den of robbers.”
47 (BF)And he was teaching daily in the temple. (BG)The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.
