14 But (A)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![a] Because you have been (B)faithful in a very little, (C)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 (D)a handkerchief; 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are (E)a severe man. You take (F)what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 He said to him, (G)‘I will condemn you with your own words, (H)you wicked servant! You knew that I was (I)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 (J)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 (K)as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and (L)slaughter them before me.’”
The Triumphal Entry
28 And when he had said these things, (M)he went on ahead, (N)going up to Jerusalem. 29 (O)When he drew near to Bethphage and (P)Bethany, at (Q)the mount that is called Olivet, he sent (R)two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, (S)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 (T)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 (U)spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—(V)the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice (W)for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, (X)“Blessed is (Y)the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and (Z)glory in the highest!” 39 (AA)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, (AB)the very stones would cry out.”
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 (AC)And when he drew near and saw the city, (AD)he wept over it, 42 saying, (AE)“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now (AF)they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For (AG)the days will come upon you, when your enemies (AH)will set up a barricade around you and (AI)surround you and hem you in on every side 44 (AJ)and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And (AK)they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know (AL)the time of your (AM)visitation.”

24 (A)Because I have called and (B)you refused to listen,
have (C)stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
25 because you have (D)ignored all my counsel
and (E)would have none of my reproof,
26 I also (F)will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when (G)terror strikes you,
27 when terror strikes you like (H)a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 (I)Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
29 Because they (J)hated knowledge
and (K)did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (L)would have none of my counsel
and (M)despised all my reproof,
31 therefore they shall eat (N)the fruit of their way,
and have (O)their fill of their own devices.
