4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see Him, because through that [way] He was about to pass by.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

8 Zacchaeus 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.”
And Zaccheus having stood, said to the LORD, “Behold, half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor, and if I took by false accusation anything of anyone, I give back fourfold.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

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 Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
And while they are hearing these things, having added He spoke an allegory, because of His being near to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the Kingdom of God is immediately about to appear.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
He therefore said, “A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,
13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
and his citizens were hating him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, 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.
And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what anyone had done in business.
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
And the first came near, saying, Lord, your mina gained ten minas;
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you became faithful in a very little, be having authority over ten cities.
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina made five minas;
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
and he also said to this one, And you, become [ruler] over five cities.
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, your mina, that I had lying away in a napkin;
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.’
for I was afraid of you, because you are an austere man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down and reaping that which I did not sow.
And he says to him, Out of your mouth I will judge you, evil servant: you knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
23 Then why did not you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, might have received it with interest?
24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
And to those standing by he said, Take the mina from him, and give to him having the ten minas—
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
(and 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 does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
for I say to you that to everyone having will be given, and from him not having, also what he has will be taken from him,
27 But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring here and slay before me.”

30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
having said, “Go away into the village in front of [you], in which, entering in, you will find a colt bound, on which no one of men ever sat, having loosed it, bring [it];
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
and if anyone questions you, Why do you loose [it]? Thus you will say to him: The LORD has need of it.”
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
And those sent, having gone away, found according as He said to them,
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said to them, “Why do you loose the colt?”
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
And they said, “The LORD has need of it”;
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
and they brought it to Jesus, and having cast their garments on the colt, they sat Jesus on it.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
And as He is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,

39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples”;
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
and He answering said to them, “I say to you that if these will be silent, the stones will cry out!”
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
And when He came near, having seen the city, He wept over it,
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
saying, “If you knew, even you, at least in this your day, the things for your peace; but now they were hid from your eyes.
43 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
Because days will come on you, and your enemies will cast a rampart around you, and surround you around, and press you 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 did not know the time of your visitation.”
and lay you low, and your children within you, and they will not leave in you a stone on a stone, because you did not know the time of your inspection.”
