1	And having come in He passed through Jericho.	He entered Jericho and was passing through.	Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2	And behold, a certain man by name called Zaccheus; and he was chief of the publicans, and he was rich.	And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich.	A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.
3	And he was seeking to see Jesus, who He is; and was not able on account of the multitude, because he was small in stature.	And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature.	He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.
4	And having run forward in advance, he went up in a sycamore-tree in order that he might see Him: because He was about to pass that way.	So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way.	So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
5	And when He came to the place, Jesus looking up, saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, hastening, come down; for it behooveth me to abide in thy house this day.	And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.”	When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”
6	And hastening, he came down, and received Him rejoicing.	So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully.	So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7	And all seeing, murmured, saying, that He is come in to abide with a sinner man.	And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”	All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
8	And Zaccheus standing, said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any one fraudulently, I restore fourfold.	And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.”	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	And Jesus said to him, This day salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;	And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.	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 that which is lost.	For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”	For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
11	And they hearing these things, proceeding, He spoke a parable, because he is nigh unto Jerusalem, and they think the kingdom of God is about to be made manifest immediately.	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.	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	Then He said, A certain nobleman went to a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and return.	He said therefore, “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return.	He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.
13	And calling his ten servants, he gave to them ten pounds, and said to them, Operate till I come.	Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’	So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
14	But his citizens continued to hate him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this man to rule over us.	But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’	“But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15	And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, and he said, that those servants should be called, to whom he had given the money, in order that he might know what each one had gained by their merchandise.	When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business.	“He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.

Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’	“’Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
18	And the second one came, saying, Lord, thy pound has gained five pounds.	And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made five minas.’	“The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
19	And he also said to him, Be thou over five cities.	And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’	“His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
20	And the other one came, saying, Lord, behold, thy pound, which I had laid away in a napkin:	Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief;	“Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth.
21	for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou hadst not laid down, and thou reapest that which thou hast not sown.	for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’	I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22	And he says to him, Out of thine own mouth I will judge thee, thou wicked servant. Didst thou know that I am an austere man, taking up what I have not laid down, and reaping what I have not sown?	He said to him, ‘I will condemn you with your own words, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?	“His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?
23	Wherefore indeed didst thou not put my money in the bank? and having come I would have received the same with the product.	Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’	Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
24	And he said to the bystanders, Take the pound from him, and give it to the one having ten pounds.	And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’	“Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25	And they said to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.	And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’	“’Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26	I say unto you, that to every one having it shall be given; and from every one not having, it shall be taken away even that which he hath.	‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.	“He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
27	Moreover bring these my enemies, not wishing me to rule over them, hither, and slay them before me.	But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’”	But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”

Untie it and bring it here.	“Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
31	And if any one may ask you, Why do you loose him? thus say to him, that the Lord hath need of him:	If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’”	If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32	and those having been sent, departing, found as Jesus told them.	So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them.	Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.
