1 And
Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there
was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he
was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for
the press, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran before, and
climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5 And
when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus,
make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And
he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when
they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with
a man that is a sinner. 8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord;
Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any
thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9 And
Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this
house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For
the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 And
as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to
Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately
appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman
went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And
he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them,
Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens
hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man
to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass,
that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these
servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might
know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then
came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And
he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a
very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And
the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And
he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And
another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept
laid up in a napkin: 21 For I feared
thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not
down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And
he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked
servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down,
and reaping that I did not sow: 23 Wherefore
then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have
required mine own with usury? 24 And he
said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him
that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said
unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For
I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that
hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But
those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither,
and slay them before me.
28 And
when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29 And
it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount
called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30 Saying,
Go ye into the village over against you; in the
which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat:
loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And
if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him,
Because the Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent
went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as
they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the
colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And
they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they
set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the
way. 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the
mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and
praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying,
Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven,
and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the
multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he
answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these
should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 41 And
when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying,
If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day,
the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine
eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon
thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round,
and keep thee in on every side, 44 And
shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they
shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the
time of thy visitation. 45 And he went into the temple, and
began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying
unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer:
but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47 And he taught daily in
the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people
sought to destroy him, 48 And could not find what they might do: for
all the people were very attentive to hear him. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner
