Zaqueo

19 Jesús llegó a Jericó y comenzó a atravesar la ciudad. Allí había un hombre rico que era el jefe de los cobradores de impuestos. Su nombre era Zaqueo. Estaba tratando de ver quién era Jesús, pero no pudo porque había mucha gente y él era bajito. Para poder verlo, salió corriendo, fue a un lugar por donde Jesús tenía que pasar y se subió a un árbol sicómoro. Cuando Jesús llegó a ese lugar, miró hacia arriba, vio a Zaqueo en el árbol y le dijo:

—Zaqueo, apúrate, baja de allí, porque hoy voy a quedarme en tu casa.

Entonces Zaqueo bajó del árbol rápidamente y se puso muy feliz de recibir a Jesús en su casa. Todos los que vieron esto se quejaban: «Miren la clase de hombre con quien se hospeda Jesús. ¡Zaqueo es un pecador!» Entonces Zaqueo se levantó y le dijo al Señor:

—Mira, Señor, voy a dar a los pobres la mitad de todo lo que tengo, y si he engañado a alguien, le pagaré cuatro veces más.

Jesús le dijo:

—La salvación ha llegado a esta familia, porque este hombre ha mostrado ser un verdadero hijo de Abraham. 10 Porque el Hijo del hombre vino a buscar a los perdidos y a salvarlos.

Haz buen uso de lo que Dios te da

(Mt 25:14-30)

11 Mientras la gente estaba escuchando esto, Jesús les contó una historia porque estaba cerca de Jerusalén, y porque algunos de ellos pensaban que el reino de Dios iba a llegar pronto. 12 Entonces Jesús les dijo:

«Un hombre de la nobleza se fue a un país lejano para ser nombrado rey y luego regresar. 13 El hombre llamó a diez de sus siervos. A cada uno le dio la misma cantidad de dinero.[a] Les dijo: “Hagan negocios con este dinero hasta que yo vuelva”. 14 Pero su gente lo odiaba. Por esa razón mandaron tras él a un grupo para decirle al emperador: “No queremos que este hombre sea nuestro rey”.

15 »Pero a pesar de todo, el hombre fue nombrado rey. Luego regresó a su país. Cuando llegó, mandó llamar a los siervos a quienes les había dado el dinero, para saber cuánta ganancia tenían. 16 El primero se presentó y dijo: “Señor, el dinero que me dio ganó diez veces más”. 17 Entonces el hombre le dijo: “Muy bien hecho, buen siervo. Como fuiste fiel con lo poco, por eso ahora voy a dejarte gobernar diez de mis ciudades”. 18 Vino el segundo siervo y dijo, “Señor, su dinero ganó cinco veces más”. 19 Entonces el hombre le dijo: “Vas a gobernar cinco de mis ciudades”.

20 »Llegó el otro siervo y le dijo: “Señor, aquí está su dinero, lo guardé muy bien en un pañuelo. 21 Yo le tuve miedo, porque usted es un hombre duro, toma dinero que no ha ganado y cosecha lo que no ha sembrado”.

22 »Entonces el rey le dijo: “¡Siervo malo! Usaré tus propias palabras contra ti para condenarte. ¿Conque sabías que soy un hombre duro, que tomo dinero que no he ganado y cosecho lo que no he sembrado? 23 Siendo así, ¿por qué no pusiste mi dinero en un banco para que así cuando yo regresara hubiera ganado intereses?” 24 Luego les dijo a los que estaban parados allí: “Quítenle el dinero que tiene y dénselo al que tiene diez veces más”.

25 »Ellos le dijeron: “Señor, él ya tiene diez veces más”. 26 El rey les dijo: “Yo les digo, a todo el que hace buen uso de lo que tiene, se le dará más; pero al que no hace buen uso de lo que tiene, se le quitará todo. 27 En cuanto a mis enemigos que no querían que yo fuera rey, tráiganmelos y mátenlos delante de mí”».

Jesús llega a Jerusalén

(Mt 21:1-11; Mr 11:1-11; Jn 12:12-19)

28 Después de decir esto, Jesús siguió su camino hacia Jerusalén. 29 Cuando estaba cerca de Betfagé y Betania, en la colina que se llama monte de los Olivos, envió a dos de sus seguidores y les dijo: 30 «Vayan al próximo pueblo. Cuando lleguen ahí, verán a un burrito atado, que nadie ha montado. Desátenlo y tráiganmelo aquí. 31 Y si alguien les pregunta por qué están haciendo eso, díganle que el Señor lo necesita».

32 Los que fueron enviados, llegaron y lo encontraron, tal como Jesús les había dicho. 33 Mientras estaban desatando al burrito, su dueño les dijo:

—¿Por qué están desatándolo?

34 Entonces ellos dijeron:

—El Señor lo necesita.

35 Le trajeron el burrito a Jesús. Los seguidores pusieron sus mantos sobre el burrito y ayudaron a Jesús a montarlo. 36 Mientras Jesús avanzaba, la gente extendía sus mantos en el camino. 37 Jesús ya estaba muy cerca de Jerusalén, en la bajada del monte de los Olivos. Todo el grupo de seguidores comenzó a gritar de alegría y a alabar a Dios por los muchos milagros que habían visto. 38 (A)Ellos decían:

—¡Bendito el rey que viene en el nombre del Señor![b]
    —¡Paz en el cielo y gloria a Dios!

39 Algunos de los fariseos que estaban en la multitud le dijeron:

—Maestro, ¡diles a tus seguidores que no digan esas palabras!

40 Jesús les dijo:

—Les aseguro que si ellos se callan, las piedras gritarán.

Jesús llora por Jerusalén

41 Cuando Jesús estaba a punto de entrar a Jerusalén y vio la ciudad, lloró por ella 42 y dijo: «Si sólo supieras hoy lo que te trae paz, pero no puedes saberlo porque está oculto para ti. 43 Llegará la hora en que tus enemigos harán un muro, te rodearán y te atacarán por todos lados. 44 Ellos arrasarán contigo y con tu gente. Las piedras de tus edificios no quedarán una sobre otra. Todo esto pasará porque no reconociste la hora en que Dios vino a salvarte».

Jesús va al templo

(Mt 21:12-17; Mr 11:15-19; Jn 2:13-22)

45 Jesús entró en el área del templo y empezó a echar a la gente que estaba vendiendo. 46 (B)(C)Les dijo:

—Está escrito: “Mi casa será una casa de oración”,[c] ¡pero ustedes la han convertido en una “guarida de ladrones”[d]!

47 Jesús le enseñaba a la gente todos los días en el área del templo. Los jefes de los sacerdotes, los maestros de la ley y los líderes del pueblo estaban buscando la forma de matar a Jesús, 48 pero no la hallaban porque todo el pueblo estaba pendiente de lo que decía.

Jesus Comes to Zacchaeus’ House

19 Then Jesus entered and passed through (A)Jericho. Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to (B)see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up [a]and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, [b]make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” So he [c]made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. But when they saw it, they all [d]complained, saying, (C)“He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”

Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the (D)poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by (E)false accusation, (F)I restore fourfold.”

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because (G)he also is (H)a son of Abraham; 10 (I)for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

The Parable of the Minas(J)

11 Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because (K)they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. 12 (L)Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten [e]minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’ 14 (M)But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’

15 “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ 17 And he said to him, (N)‘Well done, good servant; because you were (O)faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’ 19 Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. 21 (P)For I feared you, because you are [f]an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 And he said to him, (Q)‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. (R)You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that 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 him who has ten minas.’ 25 (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’) 26 ‘For I say to you, (S)that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.’ ”

The Triumphal Entry(T)

28 When He had said this, (U)He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 (V)And it came to pass, when He drew near to [g]Bethphage and (W)Bethany, at the mountain called (X)Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. 31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’ ”

32 So those who were sent went their way and found it just (Y)as He had said to them. 33 But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, “Why are you loosing the colt?”

34 And they said, “The Lord has need of him.” 35 Then they brought him to Jesus. (Z)And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him. 36 And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.

37 Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to (AA)rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, 38 saying:

(AB)‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!’
(AC)Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

39 And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

40 But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, (AD)the stones would immediately cry out.”

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and (AE)wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this (AF)your day, the things that (AG)make for your (AH)peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will (AI)build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44 (AJ)and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and (AK)they will not leave in you one stone upon another, (AL)because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

Jesus Cleanses the Temple(AM)

45 (AN)Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who [h]bought and sold in it, 46 saying to them, “It is written, (AO)‘My house [i]is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a (AP)‘den of thieves.’

47 And He (AQ)was teaching daily in the temple. But (AR)the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him, 48 and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to (AS)hear Him.

Jesus and Zacchaeus

19 (A)He entered Jericho and was passing through. And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. 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. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into (C)a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. 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.” So he hurried and came down and (E)received him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all (F)grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 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.” 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.
