Luke 19

Jesus Visits Zacchaeus
1He entered Jericho and was passing through. 2There was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was not able because of the crowd, since he was a short man. 4So running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus, since he was about to pass that way. 5When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today it is necessary for me to stay at your house.”
6So he quickly came down and welcomed him joyfully. 7All who saw it began to complain, # 19:7 Lk 15:2 “He’s gone to stay with a sinful man.”
8But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, I’ll give half of my possessions to the poor, # 19:8 Lk 18:22 Lord. And if I have extorted # 19:8 Lk 3:14 anything from anyone, I’ll pay back four times as much.” # 19:8 Ex 22:1; Lv 6:5; Nm 5:7; 2Sm 12:6
9 “Today salvation # 19:9 Lk 1:77 has come to this house,” Jesus told him, “because he too is a son of Abraham. # 19:9 Lk 3:8; 13:16; Gl 3:7,29 10For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.” # 19:10 Ezk 34:16; Mt 9:13; 10:6; 15:24; 18:12; Lk 15:4
The Parable of the Ten Minas
11As # 19:11–27 Mt 25:14–30; Mk 13:34 they were listening to this, he went on to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem, # 19:11 Lk 9:51 and they thought the kingdom of God was going to appear right away. # 19:11 Lk 17:20; Ac 1:6
12Therefore he said, “A nobleman traveled to a far country to receive for himself authority to be king # 19:12 Lit to receive for himself a kingdom, or sovereignty, also in v. 15 and then to return. 13He called ten of his servants, gave them ten minas, # 19:13 = Gk coin worth a hundred drachmas or about a hundred days’ wages and told them, ‘Engage in business until I come back.’
14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to rule over us.’
15 “At his return, having received the authority to be king, he summoned those servants he had given the money to, so that he could find out how much they had made in business. 16The first came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten more minas.’
17 “ ‘Well done, good # 19:17 Or capable servant! ’ he told him. ‘Because you have been faithful # 19:17 Lk 16:10; 1Co 4:2 in a very small matter, have authority over ten towns.’
18 “The second came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’
19 “So he said to him, ‘You will be over five towns.’
20 “And another came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina. I have kept it safe in a cloth 21because I was afraid of you since you’re a harsh man: you collect what you didn’t deposit and reap what you didn’t sow.’ # 19:21 2Co 8:12
22 “He told him, ‘I will condemn you by what you have said, you evil servant! If you knew I was a harsh man, collecting what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow, 23why, then, didn’t you put my money in the bank? And when I returned, I would have collected it with interest.’ 24So he said to those standing there, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25 “But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’
26 “ ‘I tell you, that to everyone who has, more will be given; and from the one who does not have, even what he does have will be taken away. # 19:26 Mt 13:12; Mk 4:25; Lk 8:18 27But bring here these enemies of mine, # 19:27 Lk 19:14 who did not want me to rule over them, and slaughter # 19:27 Or execute them in my presence.’ ”
The Triumphal Entry
28When # 19:28–44 Mt 21:1–11; Mk 11:1–11 he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. # 19:28 Lk 9:51 29As he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, # 19:29 2Sm 15:30; Zch 14:4; Lk 21:37; 22:39 he sent two of the disciples 30and said, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it? ’ say this: ‘The Lord needs it.’ ”
32So those who were sent left and found it just as he had told them. # 19:32 Lk 22:13 33As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt? ”
34“The Lord needs it,” they said. 35Then # 19:35–38 Jn 12:12–15 they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their clothes on the colt, they helped Jesus get on it. # 19:35 Zch 9:9 36As he was going along, they were spreading their clothes on the road. # 19:36 2Kg 9:13 37Now he came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:
38 Blessed is the King # 19:38 Mt 2:2; 25:34 who comes
in the name of the Lord. # 19:38 Ps 118:26,# 19:38 Ps 118:26; Lk 13:35
Peace in heaven
and glory # 19:38 Lk 2:14 in the highest heaven! # 19:38 Jb 16:19; Ps 148:1; Mt 21:9; Mk 11:10; Lk 2:14
39Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
40He answered, “I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out.” # 19:40 Hab 2:11
Jesus’s Love for Jerusalem
41As he approached and saw the city, he wept # 19:41 Lk 13:34–35; Jn 11:35; Heb 5:7 for it, 42saying, “If you knew # 19:42 Lk 23:34 this day what would bring peace — but now it is hidden # 19:42 Lk 8:9–10; 10:21 from your eyes. 43For the days will come on you # 19:43 Lk 17:22 when your enemies will build a barricade around you, surround you, and hem you in on every side. # 19:43 Is 29:3; Jr 6:6; Ezk 4:2; Lk 21:20 44They will crush you and your children among you to the ground, # 19:44 Mt 24:2; Mk 13:2 and they will not leave one stone on another # 19:44 Lk 21:6 in your midst, because you did not recognize the time when God visited you.” # 19:44 Ex 3:16; Lk 1:68; 7:16; 1Pt 2:12
Cleansing the Temple
45He # 19:45–48 Mt 21:12–19; Mk 11:12–19; Jn 2:13–17; 8:1–2; 11:45–53 went into the temple and began to throw out those who were selling, # 19:45 Other mss add and buying in it 46and he said, “It is written, my house will be a house of prayer, # 19:46 Is 56:7 but you have made it a den of thieves! ” # 19:46 Is 56:7; Jr 7:11,# 19:46 Jr 7:11
47Every day he was teaching # 19:47 Mt 26:55; Lk 20:1 in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people were looking for a way to kill # 19:47 Lk 6:11; 11:53–54; 20:19 him, 48but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people # 19:48 Lk 18:43; 20:6 were captivated by what they heard.

19
1And having entered, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was passing through Yericho. 2And, hinei, a man by name Zakkai was there and he was a chief moches (tax collector) and he was an oisher (rich man). 3And he was seeking to catch a look at Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach and was not able to do so, because of the multitude, and because he was komah (short of stature). 4And having run ahead to the front, he climbed up onto an etz (tree), a sycamore, that he might see Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because by that derech (way) he was about to pass by.#19:4 1Kgs 10:27; 1Chr 27:28; Isa 9:10 5And as he came to the place, having looked up, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Zakkai, hurry and come down, for hayom (today) in your bais (house) it is necessary for me to remain. 6And having hurried, Zakkai came down and welcomed with Kabbalas HaMalchus (accepting his sovereignty as king) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with simcha (joy). 7And all, having seen this, were beginning to kvetch (complain), saying, With a choteh (sinner) he entered to rest? 8And Zakkai stood there and said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu: Hinei, half of my possessions, Adoni, I give as tzedakah (contribution to charity) to the aniyim, and if from someone I defrauded of anything, I am paying back arbatayim (four times).#19:8 Ex 22:1; Lv 6:4,5; Num 5:7; 2Sm 12:6; Ezek 33:14,15 9And he said to him, Hayom (Today) Yeshu'at Eloheinu has come to this bais, because he also is a Ben Avraham. 10For the Bar Enosh#19:10 Moshiach, Dan 7:13-14 came to seek and to save the lost.#19:10 Ezek 34:12,16
11Now as they were hearing these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach added a mashal (parable), because he was near to Yerushalayim and they had the havamina (assumption) that the Malchut Hashem was about to appear immediately. 12Then Moshiach said, A certain man of noble birth traveled to a distant country to get for himself royal power for his malchut and to return. 13And having summoned ten avadim (servants) of his, he gave them ten minas and he said to them, Conduct business until I come. 14But his subjects were hating the man of noble birth and they sent a delegation after him saying, We do not want this one to rule over us. 15And it came about when he returned, having received the royal power of his malchut, he summoned to his presence these avadim to whom he had given the kesef, that he might have daas of what they had gained by trading. 16And the rishon (first) came, saying, With your mina, Adoni, ten minas more were gained. 17Yafeh! Eved tov! Because you have been ne'eman (faithful) in a very small thing, have shlita (authority) over ten towns.#19:17 Prov 27:18 18And the sheni (second) came saying, Your mina, Adoni, made five minas. 19And the man of noble birth said also to this one, And you have shlita (authority) over five towns. 20And the other came saying, Adoni, hinei! Your mina which I had put away in a tichel (kerchief). 21For I was fearing you, because you are a big machmir (stickler), you take what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow. 22He says to him, From your own mouth I will judge you, eved rasha (bad servant). You had daas that I am a big machmir (stickler), taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? 23Why then did you not put my kesef on deposit? Then when I came I would have collected ribit (interest). 24And to the ones having stood nearby he said, Take from him the mina and give it to the one having ten minas. 25And they said to him, Adoneinu, he has ten minas! 26I say to you, that to everyone having, more will be given, but from the one not having, even what he has will be taken away. 27But these oyevim of mine, the ones refusing me the Kabbalas HaMalchus (refusing my sovereignty as king)#19:27 cf. 70 C.E. over them, bring here and execute them before me.
28And having said these things, he was traveling ahead, making his aliyah leregel to Yerushalayim. 29And it came about as he came near to Beit-Pagey and Beit-Anyah, by the Mount of Olives, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent two of the talmidim, 30Saying, Go to the shtetl ahead of you, in which entering you will find an AYIR#19:30 Zech 9:9 having been tied, upon which none among Bnei Adam ever sat, and having untied it, bring it here. 31And if someone asks you, Why are you untying it? — you will say this: HaAdon has need of it. 32And having departed, the ones having been sent found it just as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach told them. 33And while untying the AYIR, its owners said to them, Why are you untying the AYIR? 34And they said, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu has need of it. 35And they led it to him and, having thrown their kaftans on the AYIR, they put Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach on it. 36And as Moshiach rode along, the people were spreading their garments on the road.#19:36 2Kgs 9:13 37And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was now approaching the path that makes the descent from the Mount of Olives, all the multitude of the Rebbeʼs talmidim began with simcha (joy) and with a kol gadol (a loud voice) to shout Baruch Hashem for all the nifla'ot (wonders) and gevurot (mighty deeds) of Hashem! For they had been edei reiyah (eyewitnesses) of these, 38Saying, BARUCH HABAH, HaMelech B'SHEM ADONOI! Shalom b'Shomayim! And kavod in the Highest!#19:38 Ps 118:26 39And some of the Perushim from the multitude said to him, Rabbi, rebuke your talmidim! 40And in reply he said, I say to you, if these will be silent, the avanim (stones) will cry out.#19:40 Hab 2:11
41And as he came near, having seen the Ir (City) [of Yerushalayim], Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach wept over it,#19:41 Isa 22:4 42Saying, If you had only had daas in HaYom HaZeh of the things leading to shalom, but now it was nistar from your eyes. 43Because yamim (days) will come upon you when your oyevim (enemies) will construct a siege against you and they will surround you and will hem you in from all directions.#19:43 Isa 29:3; Jer 6:6; Ezek 4:2; 28:6 44And they will dash you to the ground, you and your yeladim with you. And they will not leave an even (stone) upon an even (stone) within you, because you did not have daas of the zman (time) of your YOM PEKUDDAH (visitation, reckoning).#19:44 Isa 10:3
45And having entered into the Beis HaMikdash, Moshiach began to throw out the sellers, 46Saying to them, It has been written, BEITI BEIT TEFILLAH YIKAREI,#19:46 Isa 56:7 but you made it a MEARAT PARITZIM.#19:46 Jer 7:11
47And he was saying shiurim yom yom in the Beis Hamikdash. But the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were seeking to kill him, and also the Rashei HaAm, 48And they were not finding what they might do, for HaAm were all hanging on his every dvar.
