Luke 19

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 He entered and was passing through Yericho.

2 There was a man named Zakkai. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

3 He was trying to see who Yeshua was, and couldn't because of the crowd, because he was short.

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

5 When Yeshua came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zakkai, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.

7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."

8 Zakkai stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."

9 Yeshua said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Avraham.

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

11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Yerushalayim, and they supposed that the kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.

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

13 He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten minas, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We don't want this man to reign over us.'

15 "It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that 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 conducting business.

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

17 "He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'

18 "The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'

19 "He said to him also, 'You also are to be over five cities.'

20 Another came, saying, 'Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn't lay down, and reap that which you didn't sow.'

22 "He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn't lay down, and reaping that which I didn't sow.

23 Then why didn't you deposit my money in the bank, and I at my coming might have earned interest on it?'

24 He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'

25 "They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas!'

26 'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn't want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"

28 When he had thus spoken, he went on ahead, going up to Yerushalayim.

29 It happened, when he drew near to Beit-Pagey and Beit-Anyah, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his talmidim,

30 saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.

31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'The Lord needs it.'"

32 Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.

33 As they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them, 'Why are you untying the colt?'

34 They said, 'The Lord needs it.'

35 They brought it to Yeshua. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Yeshua on them.

36 As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.

37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the talmidim began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

38 saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Shalom in heaven, and glory in the highest!"

39 Some of the Perushim from the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your talmidim!"

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

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

42 saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your shalom! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

43 For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, tzitzit you in on every side,

44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn't know the time of your visitation."

45 He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

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

47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief Kohanim and the Sofrim and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

48 They couldn't find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Then Jesus entered and walked through Jericho.

2 There was a man there, his name Zacchaeus, the head tax man and quite rich.

3 He wanted desperately to see Jesus, but the crowd was in his way - he was a short man and couldn't see over the crowd.

4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up in a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus when he came by.

5 When Jesus got to the tree, he looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, hurry down. Today is my day to be a guest in your home."

6 Zacchaeus scrambled out of the tree, hardly believing his good luck, delighted to take Jesus home with him.

7 Everyone who saw the incident was indignant and grumped, "What business does he have getting cozy with this crook?"

8 Zacchaeus just stood there, a little stunned. He stammered apologetically, "Master, I give away half my income to the poor - and if I'm caught cheating, I pay four times the damages."

9 Jesus said, "Today is salvation day in this home! Here he is: Zacchaeus, son of Abraham!

10 For the Son of Man came to find and restore the lost."

11 While he had their attention, and because they were getting close to Jerusalem by this time and expectation was building that God's kingdom would appear any minute, he told this story:

12 "There was once a man descended from a royal house who needed to make a long trip back to headquarters to get authorization for his rule and then return.

13 But first he called ten servants together, gave them each a sum of money, and instructed them, 'Operate with this until I return.'

14 "But the citizens there hated him. So they sent a commission with a signed petition to oppose his rule: 'We don't want this man to rule us.'

15 "When he came back bringing the authorization of his rule, he called those ten servants to whom he had given the money to find out how they had done.

16 "The first said, 'Master, I doubled your money.'

17 "He said, 'Good servant! Great work! Because you've been trustworthy in this small job, I'm making you governor of ten towns.'

18 "The second said, 'Master, I made a fifty percent profit on your money.'

19 "He said, 'I'm putting you in charge of five towns.'

20 "The next servant said, 'Master, here's your money safe and sound. I kept it hidden in the cellar.

21 To tell you the truth, I was a little afraid. I know you have high standards and hate sloppiness, and don't suffer fools gladly.'

22 "He said, 'You're right that I don't suffer fools gladly - and you've acted the fool!

23 Why didn't you at least invest the money in securities so I would have gotten a little interest on it?'

24 "Then he said to those standing there, 'Take the money from him and give it to the servant who doubled my stake.'

25 "They said, 'But Master, he already has double . . .'

26 "He said, 'That's what I mean: Risk your life and get more than you ever dreamed of. Play it safe and end up holding the bag.

27 "'As for these enemies of mine who petitioned against my rule, clear them out of here. I don't want to see their faces around here again.'"

28 After saying these things, Jesus headed straight up to Jerusalem.

29 When he got near Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called Olives, he sent off two of the disciples with instructions:

30 "Go to the village across from you. As soon as you enter, you'll find a colt tethered, one that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it.

31 If anyone says anything, asks, 'What are you doing?' say, 'His Master needs him.'"

32 The two left and found it just as he said.

33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said, "What are you doing untying the colt?"

34 They said, "His Master needs him."

35 They brought the colt to Jesus. Then, throwing their coats on its back, they helped Jesus get on.

36 As he rode, the people gave him a grand welcome, throwing their coats on the street.

37 Right at the crest, where Mount Olives begins its descent, the whole crowd of disciples burst into enthusiastic praise over all the mighty works they had witnessed:

38 Blessed is he who comes, the king in God's name! All's well in heaven! Glory in the high places!

39 Some Pharisees from the crowd told him, "Teacher, get your disciples under control!"

40 But he said, "If they kept quiet, the stones would do it for them, shouting praise."

41 When the city came into view, he wept over it.

42 "If you had only recognized this day, and everything that was good for you! But now it's too late.

43 In the days ahead your enemies are going to bring up their heavy artillery and surround you, pressing in from every side.

44 They'll smash you and your babies on the pavement. Not one stone will be left intact. All this because you didn't recognize and welcome God's personal visit."

45 Going into the Temple he began to throw out everyone who had set up shop, selling everything and anything.

46 He said, "It's written in Scripture, My house is a house of prayer; You have turned it into a religious bazaar."

47 From then on he taught each day in the Temple. The high priests, religion scholars, and the leaders of the people were trying their best to find a way to get rid of him.

48 But with the people hanging on every word he spoke, they couldn't come up with anything.
