Dual Panel1Jesus entered <1525> Jericho <2410> and was passing through <1330> it.
2Now <2400> a man <435> named <3686> <2564> Zacchaeus <2195> was there; he <846> was <1510> a chief tax collector <754> and <2532> was rich <4145>.
3He <2532> was trying <2212> to get a look <1492> at Jesus <2424>, but being <1510> a short man <2244> <3398> he could <1410> not <3756> see over <575> the crowd <3793>.
4So <2532> he ran on <4390> ahead <1519> <1715> and climbed up <305> into <1909> a sycamore tree <4809> to <2443> see <1492> him <846>, because <3754> Jesus <1565> was going <3195> to pass <1330> that way.
5And <2532> when <5613> Jesus <2424> came <2064> to <1909> that place <5117>, he looked up <308> and said <2036> to <4314> him <846>, “Zacchaeus <2195>, come down <2597> quickly <4692>, because <1063> I <3165> must <1163> stay <3306> at <1722> your <4675> house <3624> today <4594>.”
6So <2532> he came down <2597> quickly <4692> and <2532> welcomed <5264> Jesus <846> joyfully <5463>.
7And <2532> when the people saw <1492> it, they <1234> all <3956> complained <1234>, “He has gone in <1525> to be the guest of a man <435> who is a sinner <268>.”
8But <1161> Zacchaeus <2195> stopped <2476> and said <2036> to <4314> the Lord <2962>, “Look <2400>, Lord <2962>, half <2255> of my <3450> possessions <5224> I now give <1325> to the poor <4434>, and <2532> if <1487> I have cheated <4811> anyone of anything, I am paying back <591> four times as much <5073>!”
9Then <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036> to <4314> him <846>, “Today <4594> salvation <4991> has come <1096> to <3624> this <5129> household <3624>, because <2530> he <846> too <2532> is <1510> a son <5207> of <1510> Abraham <11>!
10For <1063> the Son <5207> of Man <444> came <2064> to seek <2212> and <2532> to save <4982> the lost <622>.”
11While <191> the people were listening <191> to these things <5023>, Jesus proceeded <4369> to tell <2036> a parable <3850>, because <1223> he was <1510> near <1451> to Jerusalem <2419>, and <2532> because they <846> thought <1380> that <3754> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> was going <3195> to appear <398> immediately <3916>.
12Therefore <3767> he said <2036>, “A nobleman <2104> went <4198> to <1519> a distant <3117> country <5561> to receive <2983> for himself <1438> a kingdom <932> and then <2532> return <5290>.
13And <1161> he summoned <2564> ten <1176> of his <1438> slaves <1401>, gave <1325> them <846> ten <1176> minas <3414>, and <2532> said <2036> to <4314> them <846>, ‘Do business <4231> with <1722> these until I come back <2064>.’
14But <1161> his <846> citizens <4177> hated <3404> him <846> and <2532> sent <649> a delegation <4242> after <3694> him <846>, saying <3004>, ‘We do <2309> not <3756> want <2309> this man <5126> to be king <936> over <1909> us <2248>!’
15When he <846> returned <1880> after receiving <2983> the kingdom <932>, he summoned <5455> these <5128> slaves <1401> to whom <3739> he had given <1325> the money <694>. He wanted to <2443> know <1097> how much <5101> they had earned by trading <1281>.
16So <1161> the first one <4413> came <3854> before him and said <3004>, ‘Sir <2962>, your <4675> mina <3414> has made <4333> ten <1176> minas <3414> more <4333>.’
17And <2532> the king said <2036> to him <846>, ‘Well done <2095>, good <18> slave <1401>! Because <3754> you have been <1096> faithful <4103> in <1722> a very small <1646> matter, you will have <2192> authority <1849> over <1883> ten <1176> cities <4172>.’
18Then <2532> the second one <1208> came <2064> and said <3004>, ‘Sir, your <4675> mina <3414> has made <4160> five <4002> minas <3414>.’
19So <1161> the king said <2036> to him, ‘And <2532> you <4771> are to be <1096> over <1883> five <4002> cities <4172>.’
20Then <2532> another <2087> slave came <2064> and said <3004>, ‘Sir <2962>, here <2400> is your <4675> mina <3414> that <3739> I put away <2192> for safekeeping <606> in <1722> a piece of cloth <4676>.
21For <1063> I was afraid <5399> of you <4571>, because <3754> you are <1510> a severe <840> man <444>. You withdraw <142> what <3739> you did <5087> not <3756> deposit <5087> and <2532> reap <2325> what <3739> you did <4687> not <3756> sow <4687>.’
22The king said <3004> to him <846>, ‘I will judge <2919> you <4571> by <1537> your own <4675> words <4750>, you wicked <4190> slave <1401>! So you knew <1492>, did you, that <3754> I <1473> was <1510> a severe <840> man <444>, withdrawing <142> what <3739> I <5087> didn’t <3756> deposit <5087> and <2532> reaping <2325> what <3739> I <4687> didn’t <3756> sow <4687>?
23Why <5101> then didn’t <3756> you put <1325> my <3450> money <694> in <1909> the bank <5132>, so that when I <2504> returned <2064> I could have collected <4238> it <846> with <4862> interest <5110>?’
24And <2532> he said <2036> to his attendants <3936>, ‘Take <142> the mina <3414> from <575> him <846>, and <2532> give <1325> it to the one who has <2192> ten <1176>.’
25But <2532> they said <3004> to him <846>, ‘Sir <2962>, he has <2192> ten <1176> minas <3414> already!’
26‘I tell <3004> you <5213> that <3754> everyone <3956> who has <2192> will be given <1325> more, but <1161> from <575> the one who does <2192> not <3361> have <2192>, even <2532> what <3739> he has <2192> will be taken away <142>.
27But <4133> as for these <5128> enemies <2190> of mine <3450> who did <2309> not <3361> want <2309> me <3165> to be <936> their king <936>, bring <71> them <846> here <5602> and <2532> slaughter <2695> them <846> in front of <1715> me <3450>!’”
28After <2036> Jesus had said <2036> this <5023>, he continued on <4198> ahead <1715>, going up <305> to <1519> Jerusalem <2414>.
29Now when <5613> he approached <1448> Bethphage <967> and <2532> Bethany <963>, at <4314> the place called <2564> the Mount <3735> of Olives <1636>, he sent <649> two <1417> of the disciples <3101>,
30telling <3004> them, “Go <5217> to <1519> the village <2968> ahead <2713> of you. When <1531> you enter <1531> it, you will find <2147> a colt <4454> tied <1210> there that <3739> has <2523> never <3762> been ridden <2523>. Untie <3089> it <846> and bring <71> it here.
31If <1437> anyone <5100> asks <2065> you <5209>, ‘Why <5101> are you untying <3089> it?’ just <3779> say <2046>, ‘The Lord <2962> needs <5532> <2192> it <846>.’”
32So <1161> those who were sent ahead <649> found <2147> it exactly as <2531> he had told <2036> them <846>.
33As <3089> they <846> were untying <3089> the colt <4454>, its <846> owners <2962> asked <3004> them <846>, “Why <5101> are you untying <3089> that colt <4454>?”
34They <1161> replied <3004>, “The Lord <2962> needs <5532> <2192> it <846>.”
35Then <2532> they brought <71> it <846> to <4314> Jesus <2424>, threw <1977> their <846> cloaks <2440> on <1909> the colt <4454>, and had <1913> Jesus <2424> get <1913> on it.
36As <4198> he <846> rode along <4198>, they spread <5291> their <1438> cloaks <2440> on <1722> the road <3598>.
37As <1448> he <846> approached <1448> the road leading down <2600> from the Mount <3735> of Olives <1636>, the whole <537> crowd <4128> of his disciples <3101> began <756> to rejoice <5463> and praise <134> God <2316> with a <5456> loud <3173> voice <5456> for <4012> all <3956> the mighty works <1411> they had seen <1492>:
38“Blessed is <2127> the king <935> who comes <2064> in <1722> the name <3686> of the Lord <2962>! Peace <1515> in <1722> heaven <3772> and <2532> glory <1391> in <1722> the highest <5310>!”
39But <2532> some <5100> of the Pharisees <5330> in <575> the crowd <3793> said <3004> to <4314> him <846>, “Teacher <1320>, rebuke <2008> your <4675> disciples <3101>.”
40He <2532> answered <611> <2036>, “I tell <3004> you <5213>, if <1437> they <3778> keep silent <4623>, the very stones <3037> will cry out <2896>!”
41Now <2532> when <5613> Jesus approached <1448> and saw <1492> the city <4172>, he wept <2799> over <1909> it <846>,
42saying <3004>, “If <1487> you had only known <1097> on <1722> this <3778> day <2250>, even <2532> you <4771>, the things that make for <4314> peace <1515>! But <1161> now <3568> they are hidden <2928> from <575> your <4675> eyes <3788>.
43For <3754> the days <2250> will come <2240> upon <1909> you <4571> when your <4675> enemies <2190> will build <4016> an embankment <5482> against you <4671> and <2532> surround <4033> you <4571> and <2532> close in <4912> on you <4571> from every side <3840>.
44They will demolish <1474> you <4571>– you and <2532> your <4675> children <5043> within your walls– and <2532> they will <863> not <3756> leave <863> within you one stone <3037> on top <1909> of another <3037>, because <473> you did <1097> not <3756> recognize <1097> the time <2540> of your <4675> visitation <1984> from God.”
45Then <2532> Jesus entered <1525> the temple courts <2411> and began <756> to drive out <1544> those who were selling <4453> things there,
46saying <3004> to them <846>, “It is written <1125>, ‘My <3450> house <3624> will be <1510> a house <3624> of prayer <4335>,’ but <1161> you <5210> have turned <4160> it <846> into a den <4693> of robbers <3027>!”
47Jesus was <1510> teaching <1321> daily <2596> <2250> in <1722> the temple courts <2411>. The <1161> chief priests <749> and <2532> the experts in the law <1122> and <2532> the prominent leaders <4413> among the people <2992> were seeking <2212> to assassinate <622> him <846>,
48but <2532> they could <2147> not <3756> find <2147> a way <5101> to do <4160> it, for <1063> all <537> the people <2992> hung on <1582> his <846> words <191>.
