Luke 18:31-19:10

Jubilee Bible 2000

³¹ ¶ Then he took unto him the twelve and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

³² For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be mocked and spitefully treated and spitted on;

³³ and they shall scourge him and put him to death, but the third day he shall rise again.

³⁴ And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they did not know what was said.

³⁵ ¶ And it came to pass that as he came near unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the way begging,

³⁶ and hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what this might be.

³⁷ And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.

³⁸ And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

³⁹ And those who went before rebuked him that he should remain silent; but he cried out so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁰ And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought unto him, and when he was come near, he asked him,

⁴¹ saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.

⁴² And Jesus said unto him, See; thy faith has saved thee.

⁴³ And immediately he saw and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

19 ¶ And Jesus, having entered, was passing through Jericho;

² and, behold, a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

³ And he sought to see who Jesus was and could not for the crowd because he was small of stature.

⁴ And running ahead, he climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

⁵ And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.

⁶ And he made haste and came down and received him joyfully.

⁷ And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

⁸ Then Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

⁹ And Jesus said unto him, This day saving health is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
