Jesus Comes to Zacchaeus’ House

1 Then Jesus entered and passed through aJericho.  
2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to asee who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.  
4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up1 and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”  
6 So he1 made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.  
7 But when they saw it, they all1 complained, saying, a“He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”  
8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the apoor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by bfalse accusation, cI restore fourfold.”  
9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because ahe also is ba son of Abraham;  
10 afor the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”  

The Parable of the Minas

11 Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because athey thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.  
12 aTherefore 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 ten1 minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’  
14 aBut 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, a‘Well done, good servant; because you were bfaithful 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 aFor I feared you, because you are1 an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’  
22 And he said to him, a‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. bYou 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, athat 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

28 When He had said this, aHe went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.  
29 aAnd it came to pass, when He drew near to1 Bethphage and bBethany, at the mountain called cOlivet, 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 aas 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. aAnd 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 arejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,  
38 saying:
a“ ‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!’
bPeace 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, athe stones would immediately cry out.”  

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and awept over it,  
42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this ayour day, the things that bmake for your cpeace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.  
43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will abuild an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,  
44 aand level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and bthey will not leave in you one stone upon another, cbecause you did not know the time of your visitation.”  

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

45 aThen He went into the temple and began to drive out those who1 bought and sold in it,  
46 saying to them, “It is written, a‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a b‘den of thieves.’ ”  
47 And He awas teaching daily in the temple. But bthe 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 ahear Him.
