Ein reicher Zolleinnehmer begegnet Jesus

19 Jesus kam nach Jericho; sein Weg führte ihn mitten durch die Stadt. Zachäus, der oberste Zolleinnehmer, ein reicher Mann, wollte unbedingt sehen, wer dieser Jesus war. Aber es gelang ihm nicht, weil er klein war und die vielen Leute ihm die Sicht versperrten. Da lief er voraus und kletterte auf einen Maulbeerfeigenbaum; Jesus musste dort vorbeikommen, und Zachäus hoffte, ihn dann sehen zu können. Als Jesus an dem Baum vorüberkam, schaute er hinauf und rief: »Zachäus, komm schnell herunter! Ich muss heute in deinem Haus zu Gast sein.« So schnell er konnte, stieg Zachäus vom Baum herab, und er nahm Jesus voller Freude bei sich auf.

Die Leute waren alle empört, als sie das sahen. »Wie kann er sich nur von solch einem Sünder einladen lassen!«, sagten sie. 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.« 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].

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.

Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

19 Jesus entered Jericho(A) and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig(B) tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.(C)

When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”(D)

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)

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:

38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”[b](AB)

“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.
