1 Tendo Jesus entrado em Jericó, atravessava a cidade.
2 Havia ali um homem chamado Zaqueu, que era chefe dos publicanos, e rico;
3 este procurava ver quem era Jesus, porém não o podia conseguir por causa da multidão, porque era de baixa estatura.
4 Correndo adiante, subiu a um sicômoro a fim de vê-lo, porque estava para passar por ali.
5 Quando Jesus chegou àquele lugar, olhou para cima e disse-lhe: Zaqueu, desce depressa; porque importa que eu fique hoje em tua casa.
6 Ele desceu a toda a pressa e o recebeu com alegria.
7 Vendo isto, todos murmuravam, dizendo que ele tinha ido hospedar-se em casa de um pecador.
8 Zaqueu, levantando-se, disse a Jesus: Senhor, vou dar a metade dos meus bens aos pobres, e se em alguma coisa defraudei a alguém, lho restituirei quadruplicado.
9 Disse-lhe Jesus: Hoje entrou a salvação nesta casa, porquanto este também é filho de Abraão;
10 porque o Filho do homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.
11 Ouvindo eles isto, prosseguiu Jesus e propôs uma parábola, visto estar ele perto de Jerusalém e pensarem eles que o reino de Deus havia de manifestar-se imediatamente.
12 Disse, pois: Certo homem ilustre foi para um país longínquo, a fim de obter para si o governo e voltar.
13 Chamou dez servos seus, deu-lhes dez minas e disse-lhes: Negociai até eu voltar.
14 Mas os seus concidadãos o odiavam, e enviaram após ele uma embaixada, dizendo: Não queremos que este homem nos governe.
15 Quando ele voltou, depois de haver tomado posse do governo, mandou chamar os servos, a quem dera o dinheiro, a fim de saber como cada um havia negociado.
16 Apresentou-se o primeiro e disse: Senhor, a tua mina rendeu dez.
17 Respondeu-lhe o senhor: Muito bem, servo bom, porque foste fiel no mínimo, terás autoridade sobre dez cidades.
18 Veio o segundo, dizendo: Senhor, a tua mina rendeu cinco.
19 A este respondeu: Sê tu também sobre cinco cidades.
20 Veio outro, dizendo: Senhor, eis a tua mina que tive guardada em um lenço;
21 pois eu tinha medo de ti, porque és homem severo, tiras o que não puseste e ceifas o que não semeaste.
22 Respondeu-lhe: Servo mau, pela tua boca eu te julgarei. Sabias que sou homem severo, que tiro o que não pus e ceifo o que não semeei;
23 por que, pois, não puseste o meu dinheiro no banco? e então na minha vinda o teria exigido com juros.
24 Disse aos que estavam presentes: Tirai-lhe a mina e dai-a ao que tem as dez.
25 Responderam-lhe: Senhor, este já tem dez.
26 Declaro-vos que a todo o que tem, dar-se-lhe-á; mas ao que não tem, até aquilo que tem, lhe será tirado.
27 Quanto, porém, a esses meus inimigos, que não quiseram que eu os governasse, trazei-os aqui e matai-os diante de mim.
28 Depois de ter Jesus assim falado, ia adiante deles, subindo para Jerusalém.
29 Ao aproximar-se de Betfagé e de Betânia, junto ao monte chamado Olival, enviou dois de seus discípulos,
30 dizendo-lhes: Ide à aldeia que está defronte de vós e, ao entrar ali, achareis preso um jumentinho, que nunca foi montado; desprendei-o e trazei-o.
31 Se alguém vos perguntar: Por que o desprendeis? respondereis assim: O Senhor precisa dele.
32 Partiram os que tinham sido enviados e acharam conforme lhes dissera Jesus.
33 Enquanto desprendiam o jumentinho, perguntaram-lhes os seus donos: Por que desprendeis o jumentinho?
34 Responderam: O Senhor precisa dele.
35 Trouxeram-no a Jesus e, lançando as suas capas sobre o jumentinho, fizeram-no montar.
36 Enquanto ele caminhava, muitos estendiam as suas capas na estrada.
37 Quando ele já ia chegando à descida do monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos começou jubilosa a louvar a Deus em altas vozes por todos os milagres que tinha visto,
38 dizendo: Bendito é o Rei que vem em nome do Senhor! paz no céu e glória nas maiores alturas!
39 Alguns dos fariseus dentre a multidão lhe disseram: Mestre, repreende os teus discípulos.
40 Respondeu-lhes: Declaro-vos que, se estes se calarem, as pedras clamarão.
41 Quando Jesus já estava perto, ao ver a cidade, chorou sobre ela.
42 dizendo: Ah! se tu conheceras ainda hoje o que te pode trazer a paz! mas isto está agora oculto aos teus olhos.
43 Pois sobre ti virão dias, em que os teus inimigos levantarão trincheiras em redor de ti, te cercarão e te apertarão de todos os lados,
44 e te derribarão a ti bem como a teus filhos que estiverem dentro de ti; e não deixarão em ti pedra sobre pedra, porque não conheceste o tempo da tua visitação.
45 Tendo entrado no templo, começou a expulsar os que ali vendiam,
46 dizendo-lhes: Está escrito: A minha casa será casa de oração, mas vós a fizestes um covil de salteadores.
47 Todos os dias ensinava no templo; mas os principais sacerdotes, os escribas e os principais entre o povo procuravam tirar-lhe a vida,
48 e não sabiam o que haviam de fazer; pois todo o povo o escutava com muita atenção.
1 And he entered and was passing through Jericho. 2 And behold, a man called by name Zacchæus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran on 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 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, He is gone in to lodge 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 wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man came 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 supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to 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 ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading. 16 And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more. 17 And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds. 19 And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow. 22 He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow; 23 then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds. 25 And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds. 26 I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, Go your way into the village over against you; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him. 31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went away, 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 threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. 37 And as he was now drawing nigh, 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; 38 saying, Blessed is 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 the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
41 And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 and shall dash thee to 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 entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, 46 saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.
47 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: 48 and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.
