Luke 19 📜 📕 ↷
Jesus and Zacchaeus
1 AND entering in, he walked through Jericho.📜💬📚
2 And behold a man named Zachaeus: and this was a Prince of the Publicans, and he rich.📜💬📚
3 And he sought to see JESUS what he was, and he could not for the multitude, because he was little of stature.📜💬📚
4 And running before, he went up into a sycamore tree that he might see him: because he was to pass by it.📜💬📚
5 And when he was come to the place, JESUS looking up, saw him, and said to him Zachaeus, come down in haste: because this day I must abide in thy house.📜💬📚
6 And he in haste came down, and received him rejoicing.📜💬📚
7 And when all saw it, they murmured saying, that he turned in, to a man that was a sinner.📜💬📚
8 But Zachaeus standing, said to our Lord: Behold the half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor: and if I have defrauded any man of any thing, I restore fourfold.📜💬📚
9 JESUS said to him: That this day salvation is made to this house: because that he also is the son of Abraham.📜💬📚
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.📜💬📚
Parable of the Ten Minas
11 They hearing these things, he added and spake a parable, for that he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that forthwith the Kingdom of God should be manifested.📜💬📚
12 He said therefore: A certain noble man went into a far country to take to him self a kingdom, and to return.📜💬📚
13 And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Occupy till I come.📜💬📚
14 And his citizens hated him: and they sent a legacy after him, saying: We will not have this man reign over us.📜💬📚
15 And it came to pass after he returned, having received his kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he gave the money; that he might know how much every man had gained by occupying.📜💬📚
16 And the first came, saying: Lord thy pound hath gotten ten pounds.📜💬📚
17 And he said to him: Well fare thee good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.📜💬📚
18 And the second came saying: Lord, thy pound hath made five pounds.📜💬📚
19 And he said to him: And be thou over five cities.📜💬📚
20 And an other came, saying: Lord, lo here thy pound, which I have had laid up in a napkin.📜💬📚
21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that, thou didst not set down, and thou reapest that, which thou didst not sow.📜💬📚
22 He saith to him: By thine own mouth I judge thee, naughty servant. Thou didst know that I am an austere man, taking up that, I set not down, and reaping that, which I sowed not:📜💬📚
23 and why didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I coming might certes with usury have exacted it?📜💬📚
24 And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds📜💬📚
25 And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.📜💬📚
26 But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given: and from him that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken from him.📜💬📚
27 But as for those mine enemies that would not have me reign over them, bring them hither; and kill them before me.📜💬📚
Triumphal Entry
28 And having said these things, he went before, ascending to Jerusalem.📜💬📚
29 And it came to pass when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethania unto the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his Disciples,📜💬📚
30 saying: Go into the town which is over against, into the which as you enter, you shall find the colt of an ass tied, on which no man ever hath sitten: loose him, and bring him.📜💬📚
31 And if any man ask you: Why loose you him? You shall say thus to him: Because our Lord needeth his service.📜💬📚
32 And they that were sent, went their ways, and found as he said to them, the colt standing.📜💬📚
33 And when they loosed the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?📜💬📚
34 But they said: Because our Lord hath need of him.📜💬📚
35 And they brought him to JESUS. And casting their garments upon the colt, they set JESUS thereupon.📜💬📚
36 And as he went, they spread their garments underneath in the way.📜💬📚
37 And when he approached now to the descent of mount-Olivet, all the multitudes of them that descended, began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the miracles that they had seen,📜💬📚
38 saying: Blessed is he that cometh King in the name of our Lord, peace in Heaven, and glory on high.📜💬📚
39 And certain Pharisees of the multitudes said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples.📜💬📚
40 To whom he said: I say to you, that if these hold their peace, the stones shall cry.📜💬📚
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept upon it, saying,📜💬📚
42 Because if thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that pertain to thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes.📜💬📚
43 For the days shall come upon thee: and thy enemies shall compass thee with a trench, and inclose thee about, and straiten thee on every side,📜💬📚
44 and beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children that are in thee: and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.📜💬📚
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
45 And entering into the Temple, he began to cast out the sellers therein and the buyers,📜💬📚
46 saying to them: It is written, That my house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.📜💬📚
47 And he was teaching daily in the Temple. And the chief Priests and the Scribes and the Princes of the people sought to destroy him:📜💬📚
48 and they found not what to do to him. For all the people was suspense, hearing him.📜💬📚
