Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see Jesus, who He was, but could not for the press of the crowd, because he was short in stature.

4 And he ran 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 saw him, and said unto him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must abide at thy house."

6 And he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying that He had gone to be the guest of a man who was a sinner.

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 taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore to him fourfold."

9 And Jesus said unto him, "This day is salvation come to this house, in that he also is a son of Abraham.

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

11 And as they heard these things, He added and spoke a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem and because they thought that the Kingdom of God should immediately appear.

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

13 And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, `Make use of it till I come.'

14 But his citizens hated him and sent a message after him, saying, `We will not have this man to reign over us.'

15 And it came to pass that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first, saying, `Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.'

17 And he said unto him, `Well done, thou good servant; because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.'

18 And the second came, saying, `Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.'

19 And he said likewise to him, `Be thou also over five cities.'

20 And another came, saying, `Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid away in a napkin.

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layest not down, and reapest what thou did not sow.'

22 And he said unto him, `Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down and reaping what I did not sow.

23 Why then gavest not thou my money unto the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with interest?'

24 And he said unto them that stood by, `Take from him the pound and give it to him that hath ten pounds.'

25 (And they said unto him, `Lord, he hath ten pounds!')

26 `For I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

27 But those mine enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither and slay them before me.'"

28 And when Jesus had thus spoken, He went ahead, ascending up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, when He had come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,

30 saying, "Go ye into the village opposite you, in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat. Loose him and bring him hither.

31 And if any man ask you, `Why do ye loose him?' thus shall ye say unto him, `Because the Lord hath need of him.'"

32 And those who were sent went their way and found even as He had said unto them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, "Why loose ye the colt?"

34 And they said, "The Lord hath need of him."

35 And they brought him to Jesus, and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

36 And as He went, they spread their clothes along the way.

37 And when He had come nigh, even now 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 be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, "Master, rebuke thy disciples."

40 And He answered and said unto them, "I tell you that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out."

41 And when He had come near, He beheld the city and wept over it,

42 saying, "If thou had known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which must be for thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee around, and keep thee in on every side.

44 And they shall lay thee even with the ground and thy children within thee; and they shalt not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."

45 And He went into the temple and began to cast out those who sold therein and those who bought,

46 saying unto them, "It is written, `My house is the house of prayer,' but ye have made it a den of thieves."

47 And He taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy Him;

48 and they could not find what they might do, for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Jesus was passing through Jericho.

2 A man named Zacchaeus was there. He was the director of tax collectors, and he was rich.

3 He tried to see who Jesus was. But Zacchaeus was a small man, and he couldn't see Jesus because of the crowd.

4 So Zacchaeus ran ahead and climbed a fig tree to see Jesus, who was coming that way.

5 When Jesus came to the tree, he looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, come down! I must stay at your house today."

6 Zacchaeus came down and was glad to welcome Jesus into his home.

7 But the people who saw this began to express disapproval. They said, "He went to be the guest of a sinner."

8 [Later, at dinner,] Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Lord, I'll give half of my property to the poor. I'll pay four times as much as I owe to those I have cheated in any way."

9 Then Jesus said to Zacchaeus, "You and your family have been saved today. You've shown that you, too, are one of Abraham's descendants.

10 Indeed, the Son of Man has come to seek and to save people who are lost."

11 Jesus was getting closer to Jerusalem, and the people thought that the kingdom of God would appear suddenly. While Jesus had the people's attention, he used this illustration.

12 He said, "A prince went to a distant country to be appointed king, and then he returned.

13 [Before he left,] he called ten of his servants and gave them ten coins. He said to his servants, 'Invest this money until I come back.'

14 "The citizens of his own country hated him. They sent representatives to follow him and say [to the person who was going to appoint him], 'We don't want this man to be our king.'

15 "After he was appointed king, he came back. Then he said, 'Call those servants to whom I gave money. I want to know how much each one has made by investing.'

16 "The first servant said, 'Sir, the coin you gave me has earned ten times as much.'

17 "The king said to him, 'Good job! You're a good servant. You proved that you could be trusted with a little money. Take charge of ten cities.'

18 "The second servant said, 'The coin you gave me, sir, has made five times as much.'

19 "The king said to this servant, 'You take charge of five cities.'

20 "Then the other servant said, 'Sir, look! Here's your coin. I've kept it in a cloth for safekeeping because

21 I was afraid of you. You're a tough person to get along with. You take what isn't yours and harvest grain you haven't planted.'

22 "The king said to him, 'I'll judge you by what you've said, you evil servant! You knew that I was a tough person to get along with. You knew that I take what isn't mine and harvest grain I haven't planted.

23 Then why didn't you put my money in the bank? When I came back, I could have collected it with interest.'

24 The king told his men, 'Take his coin away, and give it to the man who has ten.'

25 "They replied, 'Sir, he already has ten coins.'

26 "'I can guarantee that everyone who has something will be given more. But everything will be taken away from those who don't have much.

27 Bring my enemies, who didn't want me to be their king. Kill them in front of me.'"

28 After Jesus had given this illustration, he continued on his way to Jerusalem.

29 When he came near Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives (as it was called), Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead of him.

30 He said to them, "Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter, you will find a young donkey tied there. No one has ever sat on it. Untie it, and bring it.

31 If anyone asks you why you are untying it, say that the Lord needs it."

32 The men Jesus sent found it as he had told them.

33 While they were untying the young donkey, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the donkey?"

34 The disciples answered, "The Lord needs it."

35 They brought the donkey to Jesus, put their coats on it, and helped Jesus onto it.

36 As he was riding along, people spread their coats on the road.

37 By this time he was coming near the place where the road went down the Mount of Olives. Then the whole crowd of disciples began to praise God for all the miracles they had seen.

38 They shouted joyfully, "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven."

39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell your disciples to be quiet."

40 Jesus replied, "I can guarantee that if they are quiet, the stones will cry out."

41 When he came closer and saw the city, he began to cry.

42 He said, "If you had only known today what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden, so you cannot see it.

43 The time will come when enemy armies will build a wall to surround you and close you in on every side.

44 They will level you to the ground and kill your people. One stone will not be left on top of another, because you didn't recognize the time when God came to help you."

45 Jesus went into the temple courtyard and began to throw out those who were selling things there.

46 He said to them, "Scripture says, 'My house will be a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a gathering place for thieves."

47 Jesus taught in the temple courtyard every day. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people looked for a way to kill him.

48 But they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were eager to hear him.
