[Luke 19]

 

             {Luk 19:1-28; Jericho; no parallel.}

             ^19:1 And he entered and was going through Jericho. ^19:2 And behold, a man called by the name Zacchaeus was there and he himself was a chief tax collector and this one was rich. ^19:3 And he was seeking to see Jesus; who he is, and was not able from the crowd, because he was little in stature. ^19:4 And he ran ahead before the crowd and ascended up upon a sycamore fig tree in-order-that he might see him, because he was about to go through that way. ^19:5 And as he came to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, after you have hurried, come-down; for^* it is essential for me to abide in your house today. ^19:6 And he hurried and came-down and accepted him, rejoicing.

             ^19:7 And they saw it and were all murmuring, saying, He has entered to board with a man, a sinner.

             ^19:8 Now Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I cheated anyone of anything, I repay them quadruple.

             ^19:9 Now Jesus said to him, Today salvation has happened to this house, insomuch as he himself is also a son of Abraham. ^19:10 For^* the Son of Man came to seek and save what has been lost.

 

             {Similar: Mat 25:14-30, Luk 14:15-24}

             ^19:11 Now while they themselves are hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he himself being near to Jerusalem, and because they think that the kingdom of God is about to be instantly manifested. ^19:12 Therefore, he said: A certain noble man traveled into a far away region, to receive a kingdom for himself and to return. ^19:13 Now he called ten of his bondservants, and gave them ten two-hundred denarii-coins, and said to them, Trade^° with this until I come. ^19:14 But his citizens were hating him and sent an emissary after him, saying, We do not wish that this one reign over us.

             ^19:15 And it happened, while^* he was coming back again after he received the kingdom, and he said that these bondservants to whom he had given the silver, to be summoned to him, in-order-that he might know who had made what by trading.

             ^19:16 Now the first came^*, saying, Lord, your two-hundred denarii-coins has been worked up to ten two-hundred denarii-coins more. ^19:17 And he said to him, Well done, good bondservant, because you became faithful in the least matters. You have ten cities. Be the authority over them.

               ^19:18 And the second came, saying, Your two-hundred denarii-coins, Lord, made^* five two-hundred denarii-coins. ^19:19 But he also said to this one, You, become the authority over five cities.

             ^19:20 And a different bondservant came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your two-hundred denarii-coins, which I was holding, laying it up in a handkerchief; ^19:21 for^* I was fearing you, because you are an austere man. You lift up from what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.

             ^19:22 But he says to him, I will be judging you out-of your own mouth, you evil bondservant. You knew that I am an austere man, lifting up from what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow? ^19:23 And why did you not give my silver over to the bank, and after I came back, I would have appropriated it together-with interest?

             ^19:24 And he said to the ones standing beside him, Take^° the two-hundred denarii-coins from him, and give^° it to the one having the ten two-hundred denarii-coins.

             ^19:25 And they said to him, Lord, he has ten two-hundred denarii-coins.

             ^19:26 For^* I say to you^°, To everyone who has, will be given, but from the one having nothing, even what he has will be taken from him. ^19:27 However my enemies, those men who did not wish for me to reign over them, lead^° them here and slaughter^° them before me.

 

             {The week of Jesus’ crucifixion. Mar 11:1-11 & Mat 21:1-12, 14-17 & Luk 19:29-44 & Joh 12:12-19 Bethany to Jerusalem and back Sun. April 2, 30 AD.}

             ^19:28 And he said these things and was traveling before them, going-up to Jerusalem.

 

             ^19:29 And it happened, as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, toward the mountain which is called Olives, he sent two of his disciples, ^19:30 and said, Proceed-away^° into the village in front of me; in which, traveling to it, you^° will find a young-donkey which has been tied, on which no one from mankind has sat at anytime. After you have loosed it, lead° it here. ^19:31 And if anyone asks you^°, Why are you^° loosening him? You^° will say to him thus, The Lord has need of him. ^19:32 Now the ones who has been sent, went away, and found just-as he said to them.

             ^19:33 And while loosening the young-donkey, the lords of it said to them, Why are you^° loosening the young-donkey?

             ^19:34 Now they said, The Lord has need of it. ^19:35 And they led it to Jesus, and they tossed forth their own garments upon the young-donkey and mounted Jesus upon it. ^19:36 Now while he himself is traveling, they were spreading their garments in the road. ^19:37 Now as he was already drawing near, even to the slope of the Mountain of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began rejoicing, then began to praise God with a loud voice concerning all the miracles which they saw; ^19:38 saying, The King has been blessed, the one coming in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

             ^19:39 And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples.

             ^19:40 And he answered and said to them, I say to you^°, If these disciples should be silent, then the stones will be crying out.

 

             {Mar 11:12-18 & Mat 21:18-19, Mat 21:12-13 & Luk 19:41-48 Road from Bethany to Jerusalem Mon.}

             ^19:41 And as he drew near, he saw the city, and wept over it, ^19:42 saying, If you knew in this day, even you, for-sure the things which are for your peace! But now they were hidden from your eyes. ^19:43 Because the days will be coming upon you, and your enemies will put a military-barrier around you and will surround you, and will be crowding you together on every-side, ^19:44 and will be leveling you to solid-ground, and your children among you, and they will not be leaving in you one stone upon another stone, because you did not know the time of your visitation.

 

             ^19:45 And he entered into the temple and began to cast forth the ones selling and buying in it, ^19:46 saying to them, It has been written, ‘My house is a house of prayer, but you^° made^* it a den of robbers.’ {Isa 56:7 & Jer 7:11} ^19:47 Now he was teaching daily in the temple. But the high-priests and the scribes and the foremost ones of the people were seeking to destroy him. ^19:48 And they were not finding what they might do^*; for^* the people were all hanging on him, listening.
