Luke 19:3-13

Weymouth New Testament WNT

3 He was anxious to see what sort of man Jesus was; but he could not because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.

4 So he ran on in front and climbed up a mulberry tree to see Him; for He was about to pass that way.

5 As soon as Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for I must stay at your house to-day."

6 So he came down in haste, and welcomed Him joyfully.

7 When they all saw this, they began to complain with indignation. "He has gone in to be the guest of a notorious sinner!" they said.

8 Zacchaeus however stood up, and addressing the Lord said, "Here and now, Master, I give half my property to the poor, and if I have unjustly exacted money from any man, I pledge myself to repay to him four times the amount."

9 Turning towards him, Jesus replied, "To-day salvation has come to this house, seeing that he too is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

11 As they were listening to His words, He went on to teach them by a parable, because He was near to Jerusalem and they supposed that the Kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

12 So He said to them, "A man of noble family travelled to a distant country to obtain the rank of king, and to return.

13 And he called ten of his servants and gave each of them a pound, instructing them to trade with the money during his absence.

4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”

6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once.

12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.

13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
