3
He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was not able because of the crowd, since he was a short man.
4 And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
4
So running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus, since He was about to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house.

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 wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.

12
Therefore He said: "A nobleman traveled to a far country to receive for himself authority to be king and then return.
13 And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] till I come.
13
He called 10 of his slaves, gave them 10 minas, and told them, 'Engage in business until I come back.'
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.
14
"But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We don't want this man to rule over us!'
15 And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.
15
"At his return, having received the authority to be king, he summoned those slaves he had given the money to so he could find out how much they had made in business.

17
" 'Well done, good slave!' he told him. 'Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, have authority over 10 towns.'
18 And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.
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, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
20
"And another came and said, 'Master, here is your mina. I have kept it hidden away in a cloth
21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.
21
because I was afraid of you, for you're a tough man: you collect what you didn't deposit and reap what you didn't sow.'
22 He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;
22
"He told him, 'I will judge you by what you have said, you evil slave! [If] you knew I was a tough man, collecting what I didn't deposit and reaping what I didn't sow,
23 then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?
23
why didn't you put my money in the bank? And when I returned, I would have collected it with interest!'
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds.
24
So he said to those standing there, 'Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has 10 minas.'
25 And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.
25
"But they said to him, 'Master, he has 10 minas.'
26 I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
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.

But bring here these enemies of mine, who did not want me to rule over them, and slaughter them in my presence.' "

28
When He had said these things, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
29
As He approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of the disciples
30 saying, Go your way into the village over against [you]; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.
30
and said, "Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him.
31
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say this: 'The Lord needs it.' "
32 And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.
32
So those who were sent left and found it just as He had told them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
33
As they were untying the young donkey, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the donkey?"
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
34
"The Lord needs it," they said.
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.
35
Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their robes on the donkey, they helped Jesus get on it.
36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
36
As He was going along, they were spreading their robes on the road.
37 And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] 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 which they had seen;
37
Now 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 saying, Blessed [is] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
38
Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heaven!

Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."
40 And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
40
He answered, "I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out!"
41 And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,
41
As He approached and saw the city, He wept over it,
42 saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
42
saying, "If you knew this day what [would bring] peace-but now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
43
For the days will come on you when your enemies will build an embankment against you, surround you, and hem you in on every side.
44 and shall dash thee to 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.
44
They will crush you and your children within you to the ground, and they will not leave one stone on another in you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
45 And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,
45
He went into the temple complex and began to throw out those who were selling,
46 saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.
46
and He said, "It is written, My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves !"
47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:
47
Every day He was teaching in the temple complex. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people were looking for a way to destroy Him,
48 and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.
48
but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were captivated by what they heard.
