Luke 19:22-48 ▼

22 And he said to him, Out of thy month will I judge thee, O evil servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I sowed not:

23 And wherefore gavest thou not my silver to the bankers, and I having come had received it with interest?

24 And to those standing by he said, Take away from him the coin, and give to him having the ten coins.

25 (And they said to him, Lord, he has ten coins.)

26 For I say to you, That to every one having shall be given; and from him not having, and what he has shall be taken away from him.

27 But those mine enemies, not having wished me to reign over them, bring hither, and slaughter before me.

28 And having said these, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it was as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount called of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 Having said, Retire ye to the opposite town; in which entering, ye shall find a colt bound, upon which none of men at any time have sat: having loosed, bring him.

31 And if any ask you, Wherefore loose ye? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of him.

32 And the sent, having departed, found as he said to them.

33 And they loosing the colt, his lords said to them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 And they said, The Lord has need of him.

35 And they brought him to Jesus: and having cast their garments upon the colt, they placed Jesus upon.

36 And he going, they laid down their garments in the way.

37 And he already drawing near to the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God with a great voice for all the powers which they saw;

38 Saying, Praised the king coming in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest ones.

39 And certain of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, censure thy disciples.

40 And having answered, he said to them, I say to you, that if these should be silent, the stones shall cry out.

41 And as he drew near, having seen the city, he wept over it,

42 Saying, That if thou knewest, also thou, and also in this thy day, the things for thy peace! and now have they been hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and keep thee together from all sides,

44 And they shall level thee with the ground, and thy children in thee; they shall not leave in thee stone upon stone; because thou knewest not the time of thine inspection.

45 And having come into the temple, he began to cast out them selling and buying in it;

46 Saying to them, It has been written, My house is the house of prayer: and ye have made it a den of robbers.

47 And he was teaching in the day in the temple. And the chief priests and scribes and the first of the people sought to destroy him,

48 And they found not what they might do: for all the people hearing hanged on him.
