Luke 19

Common English Bible CEB

1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through town.

2 A man there named Zacchaeus, a ruler among tax collectors, was rich.

3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but, being a short man, he couldn't because of the crowd.

4 So he ran ahead and climbed up a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus, who was about to pass that way.

5 When Jesus came to that spot, he looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, come down at once. I must stay in your home today."

6 So Zacchaeus came down at once, happy to welcome Jesus.

7 Everyone who saw this grumbled, saying, "He has gone to be the guest of a sinner."

8 Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, I give half of my possessions to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone, I repay them four times as much."

9 Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this household because he too is a son of Abraham.

10 The Human One came to seek and save the lost."

11 As they listened to this, Jesus told them another parable because he was near Jerusalem and they thought God's kingdom would appear right away.

12 He said, “A certain man who was born into royalty went to a distant land to receive his kingdom and then return.

13 He called together ten servants and gave each of them money worth four months' wages. He said, ‘Do business with this until I return.'

14 His citizens hated him, so they sent a representative after him who said, ‘We don't want this man to be our king.'

15 After receiving his kingdom, he returned and called the servants to whom he had given the money to find out how much they had earned.

16 The first servant came forward and said, ‘Your money has earned a return of one thousand percent.'

17 The king replied, ‘Excellent! You are a good servant. Because you have been faithful in a small matter, you will have authority over ten cities.'

18 “The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your money has made a return of five hundred percent.'

19 To this one, the king said, ‘You will have authority over five cities.'

20 “Another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your money. I wrapped it up in a scarf for safekeeping.

21 I was afraid of you because you are a stern man. You withdraw what you haven't deposited and you harvest what you haven't planted.'

22 The king replied, ‘I will judge you by the words of your own mouth, you worthless servant! You knew, did you, that I'm a stern man, withdrawing what I didn't deposit, and harvesting what I didn't plant?

23 Why then didn't you put my money in the bank? Then when I arrived, at least I could have gotten it back with interest.'

24 "He said to his attendants, ‘Take his money and give it to the one who has ten times as much.'

25 ‘But Master,' they said, ‘he already has ten times as much!'

26 He replied, ‘I say to you that everyone who has will be given more, but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.

27 As for my enemies who don't want me as their king, bring them here and slaughter them before me.'"

28 After Jesus said this, he continued on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 As Jesus came to Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he gave two disciples a task.

30 He said, "Go into the village over there. When you enter it, you will find tied up there a colt that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

31 If someone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?' just say, ‘Its master needs it.'"

32 Those who had been sent found it exactly as he had said.

33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

34 They replied, "Its master needs it."

35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their clothes on the colt, and lifted Jesus onto it.

36 As Jesus rode along, they spread their clothes on the road.

37 As Jesus approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives, the whole throng of his disciples began rejoicing. They praised God with a loud voice because of all the mighty things they had seen.

38 They said, "Blessings on the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heavens."

39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, scold your disciples! Tell them to stop!"

40 He answered, "I tell you, if they were silent, the stones would shout."

41 As Jesus came to the city and observed it, he wept over it.

42 He said, "If only you knew on this of all days the things that lead to peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes.

43 The time will come when your enemies will build fortifications around you, encircle you, and attack you from all sides.

44 They will crush you completely, you and the people within you. They won't leave one stone on top of another within you, because you didn't recognize the time of your gracious visit from God."

45 When Jesus entered the temple, he threw out those who were selling things there.

46 He said to them, "It's written, My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hideout for crooks."

47 Jesus was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests, the legal experts, and the foremost leaders among the people were seeking to kill him.

48 However, they couldn't find a way to do it because all the people were enthralled with what they heard.

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 He entered Jericho and was passing through.

2 And there was a man named Zacchae'us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich.

3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature.

4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchae'us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today."

6 So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.

7 And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."

8 And Zacchae'us stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold."

9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."

11 As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.

12 He said therefore, "A nobleman went into a far country to receive a kingdom and then return.

13 Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them, 'Trade with these till I come.'

14 But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'

15 When he returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.

16 The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your pound has made ten pounds more.'

17 And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'

18 And the second came, saying, 'Lord, your pound has made five pounds.'

19 And he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'

20 Then another came, saying, 'Lord, here is your pound, which I kept laid away in a napkin;

21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.'

22 He said to him, 'I will condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

23 Why then did you not put my money into the bank, and at my coming I should have collected it with interest?'

24 And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the pound from him, and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'

25 (And they said to him, 'Lord, he has ten pounds!')

26 'I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

27 But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.'"

28 And when he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 When he drew near to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

30 saying, "Go into the village opposite, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat; untie it and bring it here.

31 If any one asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say this, 'The Lord has need of it.'"

32 So those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them.

33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

34 And they said, "The Lord has need of it."

35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it.

36 And as he rode along, they spread their garments on the road.

37 As he was now drawing near, 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 is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

39 And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

40 He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."

41 And when he drew near and saw the city he wept over it,

42 saying, "Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hid from your eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon you, when your enemies will cast up a bank about you and surround you, and hem you in on every side,

44 and dash you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you; because you did not know the time of your visitation."

45 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,

46 saying to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers."

47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him;

48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people hung upon his words.
