Zacchaeus

19 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man named Zacchaeus was there. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but since he was short, he could not see because of the crowd. He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus, because he was about to pass by that way. 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.” He came down quickly and welcomed Jesus joyfully. When the people saw it, they were all grumbling because he went to be a guest of a sinful man.

Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I am going to give half of my possessions to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone out of anything, I will pay back four times as much.”

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 and to save the lost.”

Parable of the Ten Minas

11 As they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12 So he said, “A man of noble birth traveled to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself and then to return. 13 He called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.[a] ‘Conduct business until I return,’ he said to them.

14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to be king over us.’

15 “When he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money. He wanted to find out what they had gained by conducting business.

16 “The first one came to him and said, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten more minas.’

17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you were faithful in a very small matter, you will have authority over ten cities.’

18 “The second one came and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced five more minas.’

19 “So he said to him, ‘You will be over five cities.’

20 “And another one came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina that I laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 For I was afraid of you, since you are a demanding man. You take what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’

22 “He said to him, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you with your own words! You knew that I am a demanding man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Then why did you not put my money in the bank? Then, when I returned, I could have collected it with interest!’

24 “He said to those standing there, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’

25 “But they said to him, ‘Master, he already has ten minas!’

26 “‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 27 Now as for 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’ Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem

28 After Jesus had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 As he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples ahead, 30 saying, “Go to the village ahead of you. When you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you will say this: ‘The Lord needs it.’”

32 Those who were sent ahead went and found things just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”

35 Then they brought the colt to Jesus. They threw their robes on the colt and set Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their robes on the road. 37 As he was approaching the slope of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began to praise God joyfully, with a loud voice, for all the miracles they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord![b] Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”

40 He replied, “I tell you, if these people would be silent, the stones would cry out.”

41 As he came near, he saw the city and wept over it. 42 He said, “If you, yes you, had only known on this day[c] the things that would bring peace to you. But now, it is hidden from your eyes. 43 In fact, the days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you, surround you, and hem you in on every side. 44 Within your walls, they will dash you and your children to the ground. And within your walls, they will not leave one stone on top of another, because you did not recognize the time when God came to help you.”[d]

Jesus Cleanses His Father’s House

45 Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling[e] things there. 46 He told them, “It is written, ‘My house will be a house of prayer,’[f] but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”[g]

47 Every day he was teaching in the temple courts, but the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the leaders of the people continued to look for a way to put him to death. 48 They could not find any way to do it, because all the people were clinging to him and listening.

Zaccheus Is Saved

19 And He (A)entered Jericho and was passing through. And behold, there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich. And Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature. So he ran on before and climbed up into a [a](B)sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” And he hurried and came down and received Him [b]gladly. And when they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, “He has gone [c]to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” But Zaccheus stopped and said to (C)the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I [d]will give to the poor, and if I have (D)extorted anyone of anything, I [e]will give back (E)four times as much.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is (F)a son of Abraham. 10 For (G)the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”

Parable of the Ten Minas

11 Now while they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because (H)He was near Jerusalem, and they thought that (I)the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately. 12 So He said, (J)A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return. 13 And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten [f]minas and said to them, ‘Engage in business [g]until I come back.’ 14 But his citizens hated him and sent [h]a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ 15 And it happened that when he returned, after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be called to him so that he might know how much they had made in business. 16 So the first appeared, saying, ‘[i]Master, your [j]mina has made ten minas more.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave, because you have been (K)faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities.’ 18 Then the second came, saying, ‘Your [k]mina, [l]master, has made five minas.’ 19 And he said to him also, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’ 20 Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a cloth; 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a strict man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 He *said to him, ‘From your own mouth I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am a strict man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest?’ 24 Then he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’ 25 And they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas already.’ 26 (L)I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. 27 But (M)these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and (N)slay them in my presence.’”

The Triumphal Entry

28 And after He had said these things, He (O)was going on ahead, (P)going up to Jerusalem.

29 (Q)And it happened that when He approached Bethphage and (R)Bethany, near the mount called “of (S)Olives,” He sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you; in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. 31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’” 32 So when those who were sent departed, they found it just as He had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its [m]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, (T)and after they threw their garments on the colt, they put Jesus on it. 36 And as He was going, they were spreading their garments on the road. 37 Now as soon as He was approaching, near the descent of (U)the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to (V)praise God, rejoicing with a loud voice for all the [n]miracles which they had seen, 38 saying,

(W)Blessed is the (X)King who comes in the name of the [o]Lord.
Peace in heaven and (Y)glory in the highest!”

39 (Z)And some of the Pharisees [p]in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” 40 But Jesus answered and said, “I tell you, if these were silent, (AA)the stones will cry out!”

Lament over Jerusalem

41 And as He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He (AB)cried over it, 42 saying, “If you knew in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you [q]when your enemies will (AC)throw up a [r]barricade against you, and (AD)surround you and hem you in on every side, 44 and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and (AE)they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not [s]recognize (AF)the time of your visitation.”

Jesus Drives Merchants from the Temple

45 (AG)And Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘(AH)And My house shall be a house of prayer,’ (AI)but you have made it a robbers[t]den.”

47 And (AJ)He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people (AK)were trying to destroy Him, 48 and they could not find [u]anything that they might do, for all the people hung upon [v]every word He said.

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.

19 At siya'y (A)pumasok at nagdaan sa Jerico.

At narito, isang lalake na tinatawag sa pangalang Zaqueo; at siya'y isang puno ng mga maniningil ng buwis, at siya'y mayaman.

At pinagpipilitan niyang makita si Jesus kung sino kaya siya; at hindi mangyari, dahil sa maraming tao, sapagka't siya'y pandak.

At tumakbo siya sa unahan, at umakyat sa isang punong kahoy na sikomoro upang makita siya: sapagka't siya'y magdaraan sa daang yaon.

At nang dumating si Jesus sa dakong yaon, ay siya'y tumingala, at sinabi sa kaniya, Zaqueo, magmadali ka, at bumaba ka; sapagka't ngayo'y kinakailangang ako'y tumuloy sa bahay mo.

At siya'y nagmadali, at bumaba, at tinanggap siyang may tuwa.

At nang makita nila ito, ay (B)nangagbulongbulungan silang lahat, na nangagsasabi, Siya'y pumasok na nanunuluyan sa isang taong makasalanan.

At si Zaqueo ay nagtindig, at sinabi sa Panginoon, Narito, Panginoon, ang kalahati ng aking mga pagaari ay ibinibigay ko sa mga dukha; at kung (C)sakali't nakasingil akong may daya sa kanino mang tao, ay (D)isinasauli ko ng makaapat.

At sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Dumating sa bahay na ito ngayon ang pagkaligtas, sapagka't (E)siya'y (F)anak din naman ni Abraham.

10 Sapagka't (G)ang Anak ng tao ay naparito upang hanapin at iligtas ang nawala.

11 At samantalang pinakikinggan nila ang mga bagay na ito, ay dinugtungan niya at sinalita ang isang talinghaga, sapagka't siya'y malapit na sa Jerusalem, at sapagka't (H)kanilang inakala na pagdaka'y mahahayag ang kaharian ng Dios.

12 Sinabi nga niya, (I)Isang mahal na tao ay naparoon sa isang malayong lupain, upang tumanggap ng isang kaharian na ukol sa kaniyang sarili, at magbalik.

13 At tinawag niya ang sangpu sa kaniyang mga alipin at binigyan sila ng sangpung mina, at sinabi sa kanila, Ipangalakal ninyo ito hanggang sa ako'y dumating.

14 Datapuwa't kinapopootan siya ng kaniyang mga mamamayan, at ipinahabol siya sa isang sugo, na nagsasabi, Ayaw kami na ang taong ito'y maghari pa sa amin.

15 At nangyari, na nang siya'y muling magbalik, nang matanggap na ang kaharian, ay ipinatawag niya sa kaniyang harapan ang mga aliping yaon, na binigyan niya (J)ng salapi, upang maalaman niya kung gaano ang kanilang tinubo sa pangangalakal.

16 At dumating sa harapan niya ang una, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, nagtubo ang iyong mina ng sangpung mina pa.

17 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Mabuting gawa, ikaw na mabuting alipin: sapagka't nagtapat ka (K)sa kakaunti, magkaroon ka ng kapamahalaan sa sangpung bayan.

18 At dumating ang ikalawa, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, nagtubo ang iyong mina ng limang mina.

19 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Magkaroon ka naman ng kapamahalaan sa limang bayan.

20 At dumating ang iba pa, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, narito ang iyong mina, na aking itinago sa isang panyo:

21 Dahil sa ako'y natakot sa iyo, sapagka't ikaw ay taong mabagsik kinukuha mo ang hindi mo inilagay, at ginagapas mo ang hindi mo inihasik.

22 Sinabi niya sa kaniya, Sa sariling bibig mo kita hinahatulan ikaw na masamang alipin. Nalalaman mo na ako'y taong mabagsik, na kumukuha ng hindi ko inilagay, at gumagapas ng hindi ko inihasik;

23 Kung gayon, bakit hindi mo inilagay ang salapi ko sa bangko, at nang sa aking pagbalik ay mahingi ko yaon pati ng tinubo?

24 At sinabi niya sa mga nahaharap, Alisin ninyo sa kaniya ang mina, at ibigay ninyo sa may sangpung mina.

25 At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Panginoon, siya'y mayroong sangpung mina.

26 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, (L)na bibigyan ang bawa't mayroon; datapuwa't ang wala, pati ng nasa kaniya ay aalisin sa kaniya.

27 Datapuwa't itong aking mga kaaway, na ayaw na ako'y maghari sa kanila, ay dalhin ninyo rito, at patayin ninyo sila sa harapan ko.

28 At nang masabi niyang gayon, (M)ay nagpatuloy siya sa unahan, na umahon sa Jerusalem.

29 At nangyari, (N)na nang siya'y malapit na sa Betfage at Betania, sa bundok na tinatawag na Olivo, ay sinugo niya ang dalawa sa kaniyang mga alagad,

30 Na sinasabi, Magsiyaon kayo sa inyong lakad sa katapat na nayon; sa pagpasok ninyo roon, ay masusumpungan ninyo ang isang nakatali na batang asno, na hindi pa nasasakyan ng sinomang tao: kalagin ninyo siya, at dalhin ninyo siya rito.

31 At kung may sinomang tumanong sa inyo, Bakit ninyo kinakalag iyan? ganito ang inyong sasabihin, Kinakailangan siya ng Panginoon.

32 At nagsiparoon ang mga sugo at nasumpungan ng ayon sa sinabi niya sa kanila.

33 At nang kinakalag nila ang batang asno, ay sinabi sa kanila ng mga may-ari niyaon, Bakit kinakalag ninyo ang batang asno?

34 At sinabi nila, Kinakailangan siya ng Panginoon.

35 At dinala nila siya kay Jesus: (O)at inilagay nila ang kanilang mga damit sa ibabaw ng batang asno, at isinakay nila si Jesus sa ibabaw noon.

36 At samantalang siya'y lumalakad, ay inilalatag nila ang kanilang mga damit sa daan.

37 At nang nalalapit siya sa libis ng bundok ng mga Olivo, ang buong karamihan ng mga alagad ay nangagpasimulang mangagkatuwa at mangagpuri sa Dios ng malakas na tinig dahil sa lahat ng mga gawang makapangyarihan na kanilang mangakita.

38 Na sinasabi, Mapalad ang Hari na pumaparito sa pangalan ng Panginoon: kapayapaan sa langit, (P)at kaluwalhatian sa kataastaasan.

39 (Q)At ilan sa mga Fariseo na mula sa karamihan ay nangagsabi sa kaniya, Guro, sawayin mo ang iyong mga alagad.

40 At sumagot siya at nagsabi, Sinasabi ko sa inyo na kung hindi mangagsiimik ang mga ito, ang mga bato'y sisigaw.

41 At nang malapit na siya, nakita niya ang bayan, at ito'y kaniyang tinangisan,

42 Na sinasabi, Kung sa araw na ito ay nakilala mo sana, sa iyong sarili, ang mga bagay na nauukol sa iyong kapayapaan! datapuwa't ngayo'y pawang nangatatago sa iyong mga mata.

43 Sapagka't darating sa iyo ang mga araw, na babakuran (R)ka ng kuta ng mga kaaway mo, at kukubkubin ka, at gigipitin ka sa magkabikabila,

44 At ilulugso ka sa lupa, at ang mga anak mo na nasa loob mo; (S)at sa iyo'y hindi sila magiiwan ng bato sa ibabaw ng kapuwa bato; sapagka't hindi mo nakilala ang panahon ng sa iyo'y (T)pagdalaw.

45 At (U)pumasok siya sa templo, at pinasimulang itaboy sa labas ang mga nangagbibili,

46 Na sinasabi sa kanila, Nasusulat nga, (V)At ang aking bahay ay magiging bahay-panalanginan: datapuwa't (W)ginawa ninyong yungib ng mga tulisan.

47 At nagtuturo siya araw-araw sa templo. Datapuwa't ang mga pangulong saserdote, at ang mga eskriba, at ang mga taong pangunahin sa bayan ay nangagsisikap na siya'y patayin:

48 At di nila masumpungan kung ano ang kanilang magagawa; sapagka't natitigilan ang buong bayan sa pakikinig sa kaniya.
