1 E, tendo Jesus entrado em Jericó, ia passando.
2 E eis que havia ali um homem chamado Zaqueu; e era este um chefe dos publicanos, e era rico.
3 E procurava ver quem era Jesus, e não podia, por causa da multidão, pois era de pequena estatura.
4 E, correndo adiante, subiu a uma figueira brava para o ver; porque havia de passar por ali.
5 E quando Jesus chegou àquele lugar, olhando para cima, viu-o e disse-lhe: Zaqueu, desce depressa, porque hoje me convém pousar em tua casa.
6 E, apressando-se, desceu, e recebeu-o alegremente.
7 E, vendo todos isto, murmuravam, dizendo que entrara para ser hóspede de um homem pecador.
8 E, levantando-se Zaqueu, disse ao Senhor: Senhor, eis que eu dou aos pobres metade dos meus bens; e, se nalguma coisa tenho defraudado alguém, o restituo quadruplicado.
9 E disse-lhe Jesus: Hoje veio a salvação a esta casa, pois também este é filho de Abraão.
10 Porque o Filho do homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.
11 E, ouvindo eles estas coisas, ele prosseguiu, e contou uma parábola; porquanto estava perto de Jerusalém, e cuidavam que logo se havia de manifestar o reino de Deus.
12 Disse pois: Certo homem nobre partiu para uma terra remota, a fim de tomar para si um reino e voltar depois.
13 E, chamando dez servos seus, deu-lhes dez minas, e disse-lhes: Negociai até que eu venha.
14 Mas os seus concidadãos odiavam-no, e mandaram após ele embaixadores, dizendo: Não queremos que este reine sobre nós.
15 E aconteceu que, voltando ele, depois de ter tomado o reino, disse que lhe chamassem aqueles servos, a quem tinha dado o dinheiro, para saber o que cada um tinha ganhado, negociando.
16 E veio o primeiro, dizendo: Senhor, a tua mina rendeu dez minas.
17 E ele lhe disse: Bem está, servo bom, porque no mínimo foste fiel, sobre dez cidades terás autoridade.
18 E veio o segundo, dizendo: Senhor, a tua mina rendeu cinco minas.
19 E a este disse também: Sê tu também sobre cinco cidades.
20 E veio outro, dizendo: Senhor, aqui está a tua mina, que guardei num lenço;
21 Porque tive medo de ti, que és homem rigoroso, que tomas o que não puseste, e segas o que não semeaste.
22 Porém, ele lhe disse: Mau servo, pela tua boca te julgarei. Sabias que eu sou homem rigoroso, que tomo o que não pus, e sego o que não semeei;
23 Por que não puseste, pois, o meu dinheiro no banco, para que eu, vindo, o exigisse com os juros?
24 E disse aos que estavam com ele: Tirai-lhe a mina, e dai-a ao que tem dez minas.
25 (E disseram-lhe eles: Senhor, ele tem dez minas. )
26 Pois eu vos digo que a qualquer que tiver ser-lhe-á dado, mas ao que não tiver, até o que tem lhe será tirado.
27 E quanto àqueles meus inimigos que não quiseram que eu reinasse sobre eles, trazei-os aqui, e matai-os diante de mim.
28 E, dito isto, ia caminhando adiante, subindo para Jerusalém.
29 E aconteceu que, chegando perto de Betfagé, e de Betânia, ao monte chamado das Oliveiras, mandou dois dos seus discípulos,
30 Dizendo: Ide à aldeia que está defronte, e aí, ao entrar, achareis preso um jumentinho em que nenhum homem ainda montou; soltai-o e trazei-o.
31 E, se alguém vos perguntar: Por que o soltais? assim lhe direis: Porque o Senhor o há de mister.
32 E, indo os que haviam sido mandados, acharam como lhes dissera.
33 E, quando soltaram o jumentinho, seus donos lhes disseram: Por que soltais o jumentinho?
34 E eles responderam: O Senhor o há de mister.
35 E trouxeram-no a Jesus; e, lançando sobre o jumentinho as suas vestes, puseram Jesus em cima.
36 E, indo ele, estendiam no caminho as suas vestes.
37 E, quando já chegava perto da descida do Monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos, regozijando-se, começou a dar louvores a Deus em alta voz, por todas as maravilhas que tinham visto,
38 Dizendo: Bendito o Rei que vem em nome do Senhor; paz no céu, e glória nas alturas.
39 E disseram-lhe de entre a multidão alguns dos fariseus: Mestre, repreende os teus discípulos.
40 E, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Digo-vos que, se estes se calarem, as próprias pedras clamarão.
41 E, quando ia chegando, vendo a cidade, chorou sobre ela,
42 Dizendo: Ah! se tu conhecesses também, ao menos neste teu dia, o que à tua paz pertence! Mas agora isto está encoberto aos teus olhos.
43 Porque dias virão sobre ti, em que os teus inimigos te cercarão de trincheiras, e te sitiarão, e te estreitarão de todos os lados;
44 E te derrubarão, a ti e aos teus filhos que dentro de ti estiverem, e não deixarão em ti pedra sobre pedra, pois que não conheceste o tempo da tua visitação.
45 E, entrando no templo, começou a expulsar todos os que nele vendiam e compravam,
46 Dizendo-lhes: Está escrito: A minha casa é casa de oração; mas vós fizestes dela covil de salteadores.
47 E todos os dias ensinava no templo; mas os principais dos sacerdotes, e os escribas, e os principais do povo procuravam matá-lo.
48 E não achavam meio de o fazer, porque todo o povo pendia para ele, escutando-o.
1 He entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 And there was a man named Zacchae'us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich.
3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature.
4 So he ran on 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 said to him, "Zacchae'us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today."
6 So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."
8 And Zacchae'us stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold."
9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."
11 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.
12 He said therefore, "A nobleman went into a far country to receive a kingdom and then return.
13 Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them, `Trade with these till I come.'
14 But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, `We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 When he returned, 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 trading.
16 The first came before him, saying, `Lord, your pound has made ten pounds more.'
17 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.'
18 And the second came, saying, `Lord, your pound has made five pounds.'
19 And he said to him, `And you are to be over five cities.'
20 Then another came, saying, `Lord, here is your pound, which I kept laid away in a napkin;
21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.'
22 He said to him, `I will condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?
23 Why then did you not put my money into the bank, and at my coming I should have collected it with interest?'
24 And he said to those who stood by, `Take the pound from him, and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
25 (And they said to him, `Lord, he has ten pounds!')
26 `I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
27 But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.'"
28 And when he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 When he drew near to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 saying, "Go into the village opposite, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat; untie it and bring it here.
31 If any one asks you, `Why are you untying it?' you shall say this, `The Lord has need of it.'"
32 So those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them.
33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 And they said, "The Lord has need of it."
35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it.
36 And as he rode along, they spread their garments on the road.
37 As he was now drawing near, 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 is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
39 And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."
41 And when he drew near and saw the city he wept over it,
42 saying, "Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hid from your eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon you, when your enemies will cast up a bank about you and surround you, and hem you in on every side,
44 and dash you 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."
45 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,
46 saying to them, "It is written, `My house shall be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers."
47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him;
48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people hung upon his words.
