1<\/sup>AND entering in, he walked through Jericho.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>But his citizens hated him: and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury?<\/span> <\/p>\n 24<\/sup>And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.<\/span> <\/p>\n 25<\/sup>And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.<\/span> <\/p>\n 26<\/sup>But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 27<\/sup>But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and kill them before me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 28<\/sup>And having said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.<\/span> <\/p>\n 29<\/sup>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,<\/span> <\/p>\n 30<\/sup>Saying: Go into the town which is over against you, at your entering into which you shall find the colt of an ass tied, on which no man ever hath sitten: loose him, and bring him hither.<\/span> <\/p>\n 31<\/sup>And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? you shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.<\/span> <\/p>\n 32<\/sup>And they that were sent, went their way, and found the colt standing, as he had said unto them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 33<\/sup>And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?<\/span> <\/p>\n 34<\/sup>But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 35<\/sup>And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.<\/span> <\/p>\n 36<\/sup>And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.<\/span> <\/p>\n 37<\/sup>And when he was now coming near the descent of mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,<\/span> <\/p>\n 38<\/sup>Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory on high!<\/span> <\/p>\n 39<\/sup>And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples.<\/span> <\/p>\n 40<\/sup>To whom he said: I say to you, that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.<\/span> <\/p>\n 41<\/sup>And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:<\/span> <\/p>\n 42<\/sup>If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace; but now they are hidden from thy eyes.<\/span> <\/p>\n 43<\/sup>For the days shall come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side,<\/span> <\/p>\n 44<\/sup>And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who 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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 45<\/sup>And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought.<\/span> <\/p>\n 46<\/sup>Saying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.<\/span> <\/p>\n 47<\/sup>And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy him:<\/span> <\/p>\n 48<\/sup>And they found not what to do to him: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.<\/span> <\/p>\n
