Lucas 19 - Bíblia Online

Quando Jesus ia a atravessar Jericó, um homem muito rico, chamado Zaqueu, que era um chefe dos que cobravam impostos, procurou ver Jesus. 
Mas como era de estatura baixa e não conseguia espreitar por cima da multidão, correu à frente e trepou a uma árvore junto à estrada para ver dali. 
Quando Jesus ia a passar, olhou para cima e, vendo Zaqueu, chamou-o pelo nome: Zaqueu, desce depressa porque convém-me visitar-te hoje. 
Ele saltou para o chão e, satisfeito, trouxe Jesus a sua casa. 
Mas a multidão ficou descontente. Afinal, vai ser hóspede de um conhecido pecador, murmuravam. 
Entretanto, Zaqueu levantou-se e disse-lhe: Senhor, darei metade da minha fortuna aos pobres. E se tenho cobrado a mais nos impostos, restituirei quatro vezes esse valor! 
Jesus disse: A salvação entrou hoje neste lar. Este homem é filho de Abraão, e foi pessoas assim que eu, o Filho do Homem, vim buscar e salvar. 
A multidão ouvia tudo que Jesus lhes disse. Como se aproximava já de Jerusalém, Jesus contou uma parábola para desfazer a ideia de que o reino de Deus ia começar imediatamente. 
Um nobre que vivia em certo reino foi chamado à capital distante do império para ser coroado rei. Antes de partir, chamou dez colaboradores e deu a cada um uma quantia de dinheiro para investirem e porem a render, enquanto estivesse ausente. Porém, alguns dos seus compatriotas odiavam-no e, passado tempos, mandaram-lhe uma declaração de independência, dizendo que se tinham revoltado e que já não o aceitavam como rei. 
Ao regressar, o rei tornou a chamar os homens a quem dera o dinheiro para saber o que tinham feito com ele e que lucros haviam colhido. O primeiro homem apareceu com um bom lucro, dez vezes a quantia que lhe fora dada. 
'Óptimo!' exclamou, 'fizeste bem. Foste fiel com o pouco que te confiei, e em recompensa serás governador de dez cidades.' 
O homem seguinte também tinha tido bons lucros, cinco vezes a quantia que lhe fora confiada. 
'Muito bem! Serás governador de cinco cidades! 
Mas o terceiro trouxe apenas o dinheiro que lhe fora entregue: 'Guardei-o porque tive medo, pois és rigoroso nos negócios, ficando com o que não é teu e confiscando, até, o que os outros plantam!' 
'Preguiçoso! Se sou rigoroso, também o serei contigo! Se pensas que sou exigente, porque não depositaste o dinheiro no banco para que ao menos recebesse juros?' 
Voltando-se para os outros que ali estavam, ordenou: 'Tirem-lhe o dinheiro e dêem-no ao homem que mais ganhou.' 
'Mas, Senhor, ele já tem bastante!' 
'Sim, mas é que quem tem, mais terá, e que quem pouco tem até isso há-de perder. E quanto a esses meus inimigos que se revoltaram, tragam-nos e matem-nos na minha presença.' 
Depois disto, Jesus prosseguiu para Jerusalém, caminhando à frente dos discípulos. Ao aproximarem-se das vilas de Betfagé e Betânia, no Monte das Oliveiras, mandou dois discípulos irem adiante com instruções para se dirigirem à aldeia, e procurarem um jumento amarrado junto à estrada. Seria um jumento novo, ainda não habituado a ser montado: Desatem-no e tragam-no cá. Se alguém vos perguntar o que estão a fazer, digam apenas: 'O Senhor precisa dele'. 
Encontraram o jumento, como Jesus tinha dito. De facto, enquanto o desatavam, os donos pediram uma explicação: Por que desatam o jumento? 
Os discípulos responderam simplesmente: O Senhor precisa dele. Assim, levaram o jumento a Jesus e puseram-lhe no lombo algumas vestes para que Jesus se sentasse. 
A multidão começou a estender as túnicas ao longo da estrada à sua frente. Ao chegarem ao local onde esta descia desde o Monte das Oliveiras, todo o cortejo começou a gritar e a cantar enquanto marchava, louvando Deus por todos os milagres praticados por Jesus. 
Bendito seja o Rei que vem em nome do Senhor!, exclamavam. Paz no céu! Glória a Deus em todo o universo! 
Mas alguns dos fariseus que seguiam entre a multidão disseram: Mestre, avisa os teus seguidores que não digam essas coisas! 
Jesus respondeu: Se eles se calassem, até as pedras ao longo da estrada começariam a aclamar-me! 
Já mais perto de Jerusalém, quando viu a cidade à sua frente, Jesus começou a chorar e disse: Se tu compreendesses, ao menos neste dia, o que poderia trazer-te a paz! Mas agora não consegues entender. Os teus inimigos farão um plano para te conquistar, cercando-te e atacando-te; serás esmagada até ao chão juntamente com os teus filhos dentro de ti. Os teus inimigos não deixarão pedra sobre pedra, pois rejeitaste a oportunidade que Deus te ofereceu. 
Depois, entrando no templo, Jesus começou a pôr fora os mercadores dos postos de venda, dizendo-lhes: As Escrituras afirmam: 'O meu templo é um lugar de oração' , mas vocês transformaram-no num abrigo de ladrões. 
A partir dali, ensinava diariamente no templo, mas já os principais sacerdotes, os mestres da lei e os dirigentes entre o povo procuravam arranjar meio de o matar. E não achavam forma de o fazer, pois Jesus atraía muito povo, que bebia as suas palavras. 

And he entered and was passing through Jericho. 
And look, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich. 
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature. 
And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 
And when he came to the place, Jesus looked up, and said to him, Zacchaeus, hurry, and come down; for today I must stay at your house. 
And he hurried, and came down, and received him joyfully. 
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner. 
And Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord, Look, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted anything of any man, I restore fourfold. 
And Jesus said to him, Today has salvation come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost. 
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and [because] they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear. 
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 
And he called ten slaves of his, and gave them $10,000, and said to them, Trade{+} until I come. 
But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassador after him, saying, We will not have this man reign over us. 
And it came to pass, when he came back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these slaves, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading. 
And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your $1,000 has made $10,000 more. 
And he said to him, Well done, you good slave: because you were found faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities. 
And the second came, saying, Your $1,000, Lord, has made $5,000. 
And he said to him also, You also be over five cities. 
And another came, saying, Lord, look, [here is] your $1,000, which I kept laid up in a napkin: 
for I feared you, because you are an austere man: you take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow. 
He says to him, Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked slave. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow; 
then why didn't you give my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have collected it with interest? 
And he said to those who stood by, Take away from him the $1,000, and give it to him who has the $10,000. 
And they said to him, Lord, he has $10,000. 
I say to you{+}, that to everyone who has will be given; but from him who has not, even that which he has will be taken away. 
But these enemies of mine, that did not want that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me. 
And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem. 
And it came to pass, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called, of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, 
saying, Go your{+} way into the village across from [you{+}]; in which as you{+} enter you{+} will find a colt tied, on which no man ever yet sat: and having loosed him, bring him. 
And if anyone asks you{+}, Why do you{+} loose him? Thus you{+} will say, The Lord has need of him. 
And those who were sent, went away, and found even as he had said to them. 
And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why do you{+} loose the colt? 
And they said, The Lord has need of him. 
And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments on the colt, and set Jesus on it. 
And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. 
And as he was now drawing near, [even] 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 which they had seen; 
saying, Blessed [is] he who comes, the King, in the name of Yahweh: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 
And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples. 
And he answered and said, I tell you{+}, if these will hold their peace, the stones will cry out. 
And when he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it, 
saying, If you had known in this day, even you, the things which belong to peace! But now they are hid from your eyes. 
For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will cast up a bank about you, and circle you round, and keep you in on every side, 
and will dash you to the ground, and your children inside you; and they will not leave in you one stone on another; because you didn't know the time of your visitation. 
And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out those who sold, 
saying to them, It is written, And my house will be a house of prayer: but you{+} have made it a den of robbers. 
And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him: 
and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung on him, listening.
