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 com júbilo. 7 E, vendo todos isso, 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 em alguma 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 essas 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 aborreciam-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 a 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 isso, 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 entrardes, 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 precisa dele. 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 precisa dele. 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 dentre 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, isso 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 todas as bandas, 44 e te derribarão, a ti e a 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 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 8 And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37 And when he was come nigh, even now 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 be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. 45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
