	LAMSA Lamsa Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	AND when Jesus entered and passed through Jericho,	He entered Jericho and was passing through.	Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2	There was a man named Zacchaeus, who was rich and chief of the publicans.	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 wanted to see who Jesus was; but he could not because of the crowd, for Zacchaeus was small in his 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	So he ran ahead of Jesus, and climbed up into a fig tree without leaves, that he might see him, because he was 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	When Jesus came to that place, he saw him and said to him, Make haste, come down, O Zacchaeus, for today I must remain in your house.	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 he hastened, and came down, and welcomed him with joy.	So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully.	So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7	Now when they all saw it, they murmured, saying, He has entered to stay in the house of a sinner.	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	But Zacchaeus rose up and said to Jesus, Behold, my Lord, half of my wealth I will give to the poor; and I will pay fourfold to every man from whom I have extorted.	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	Jesus said to him, Today life 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 save that which was 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	While they were listening to these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they were expecting that the kingdom of God would appear at that very hour;	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	And he said, A great man of a noble family 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 he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Do business until I come back.	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 the people of his city hated him, and sent messengers after him, saying, We do not want him 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 when he received the kingdom and returned, he commanded to call his servants, to whom he had given the money, that he might know what each one of them had gained in business.	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.
16	The first one came and said, My lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.	The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.’	“The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17	He said to him, O good servant, because you are found faithful in a little, you will have charge over ten talents.	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.’	“’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 came and said, My lord, your 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	He said to this one also, You also will have charge over five talents.	And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’	“His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
20	And another one came and said, My lord, here is your pound which was with me, which I kept laid up in a purse.	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 was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man; you pick up what you have not laid down, and you reap what you have 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	He said to him, I will judge you from your own mouth, O wicked servant. You knew me that I am a harsh man, and pick up what I have not laid down, and reap 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	Why then did you not give my money to the exchange, so that when I came I could demand it with its interest?	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 those who stood in his presence, Take away the pound from him, and give it to him who has 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	They said to him, Our lord, he has already with him ten pounds.	And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’	“’Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26	He said to them, I say to you, to everyone who has shall be given; and from him who has not, even that which he has will be taken away from him.	‘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	But those my enemies, who were not willing that I should rule over them, bring them here, and kill 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.’”
28	And when Jesus had said these things, he went forward to go to Jerusalem.	And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.	After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29	And when he arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, on the side of the mountain which is called the Home of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,	When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,	As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them,
30	And he said to them, Go to the village which is in front of us; and when you enter it you will find a colt tied up, on which no man has ever ridden; untie it and bring it.	saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. 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 man should ask you, Why do you untie it? tell him this: Our lord needs it.	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 who were sent went away, and found just as he had 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.
33	And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, Why do you untie the colt?	And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”	As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34	And they said to them, Our Lord needs it.	And they said, “The Lord has need of it.”	They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35	And they brought it to Jesus; and they put their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus on it.	And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.	They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it.
36	And as he went on, they spread their garments on the road.	And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.	As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
37	And when he came near to the descent of the Mount of the Home of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, praising God with a loud voice, for all the miracles which they had seen,	As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,	When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles 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.	saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”	“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39	But some of the men of the Pharisees who were in the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples.	And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”	Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40	He said to them, I say to you, that if these should keep silent, the stones would cry out.	He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”	“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
41	And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it;	And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it,	As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it
42	And he said, If you had only known those who are concerned in your peace, even in this your day! but now they are hidden from your eyes.	saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.	and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.
43	But the days will come to you, when your enemies will surround you, and oppress you from every place,	For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side	The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.
44	And will overthrow you, and your children within you; and they will not leave in you a stone upon a stone; because you did not know the time when you were to be visited.	and tear you down 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.”	They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”
45	And when he entered the temple, he began to put out those who were buying and selling in it;	And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,	When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling.
46	And he said to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer; but you have made it a cave of bandits.	saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”	“It is written,” he said to them, “’My house will be a house of prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
47	And he taught every day in the temple. But the high priests and the scribes and the elders of the people sought to get rid of him;	And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him,	Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him.
48	But they were not able to find what to do to him; for all the people hung around him to hear him.	but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.	Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
