1 He entered and was passing through Jericho. 2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short. 4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way. 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." 6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully. 7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
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."
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. 12 He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for 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 don’t want this man 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. 16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more 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.’
18 "The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
19 "So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief, 21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t 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 didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow. 23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’ 24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
25 "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 doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’" 28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, 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. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’"
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?" 34 They said, "The Lord needs it." 35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them. 36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
37 As he was now getting 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 which 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 Some 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."
41 When he came near, he saw the city and 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. 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, 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 didn’t know the time of your visitation."
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, 46 saying to them, "It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!"
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him. 48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
1 耶稣进了耶利哥， 正经过的时候，
2 有一个人名叫撒该， 是税吏长， 又很富有。
3 他想看看耶稣是怎么样的， 因为人多， 他又身材矮小， 就看不见。
4 于是他跑到前头， 爬上一棵桑树， 要看看耶稣， 因为耶稣就要从那里经过。
5 耶稣到了那里， 往上一看， 对他说： "撒该， 快下来， 今天我要住在你家里。"
6 他就赶快下来， 欢欢喜喜地接待耶稣。
7 众人看见就纷纷议论说： "他竟到罪人家里去住宿！ "
8 撒该站着对主说： "主啊， 请看， 我要把家财的一半分给穷人， 我若敲诈了谁， 就还他四倍。"
9 耶稣说： "今天救恩到了这家， 他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。
10 因为人子来， 是要寻找拯救失丧的人。"
11 众人听这些话的时候， 因为耶稣已经接近耶路撒冷， 又因他们以为 神的国快要出现， 他就讲了一个比喻，
12 说： "有一个贵族往远方去要接受王位， 然后回来。
13 他叫了自己的十个仆人来， 给他们一千银币， 说： ‘你们拿去作生意， 等到我回来。’
14 他本国的人却恨他， 就派使者跟着去说： ‘我们不愿意这个人作王统治我们。’
15 他得了王位回来， 就吩咐把那些领了钱的仆人召来， 要知道他们作生意赚了多少。
16 第一个走过来说： ‘主啊， 你的一百银币， 已经赚了一千。’
17 主人说： ‘好， 良善的仆人， 你既然在最小的事上忠心， 可以有权管理十座城。’
18 第二个来说： ‘主啊， 你的一百银币， 已经赚了五百。’
19 主人说： ‘你可以管理五座城。’
20 另一个来说： ‘主啊， 你看， 你的一百银币， 我一直保存在手巾里，
21 因为我怕你， 你一向是严厉的人， 没有存的要提取， 没有种的要收割。’
22 主人说： ‘可恶的仆人！ 我要凭你的口定你的罪。你知道我是严厉的人， 没有存的要提取， 没有种的要收割吗？
23 那你为什么不把我的钱存入银行， 等我回来的时候， 把它连本带利取回来呢？’
24 他就对侍卫说： ‘夺过他的一百银币， 给那有一千的。’
25 他们说： ‘主啊， 他已经有一千银币了。’
26 主人说： ‘我告诉你们， 凡是有的， 还要给他； 没有的， 就算他有什么也要拿去。
27 至于我那些仇敌， 就是不愿意我作王统治他们的， 把他们拉到这里来， 在我面前杀掉！ ’"
28 耶稣讲完这些话， 就往前走， 上耶路撒冷去。
29 将到伯法其和伯大尼， 就在橄榄山那里， 他差派两个门徒，
30 说： "你们往对面的村子里去， 就会看见一头从来没有人骑过的小驴， 拴在那里， 把它解开牵来。
31 如果有人问为什么解开它， 你们要这样说： ‘主需要它。’"
32 被差的人去了， 发现和主所说的一样。
33 他们解开小驴的时候， 主人问他们： "你们为什么解开它？"
34 他们说： "主需要它。"
35 他们把小驴牵到耶稣那里， 把自己的衣服搭在上面， 扶着耶稣上去。
36 耶稣前行的时候， 众人把自己的衣服铺在路上。
37 他走近耶路撒冷， 快要下橄榄山的时候， 全体门徒因为所看见的一切神迹， 就欢乐起来， 大声赞美 神，
38 说： "奉主名来的王， 是应当称颂的！ 在天上有和平， 在至高之处有荣耀！ "
39 群众中有几个法利赛人对他说： "先生， 责备你的门徒吧！ "
40 耶稣说： "我告诉你们， 他们若不出声， 石头都要呼叫了。"
41 耶稣走近耶路撒冷的时候， 看见了城， 就为城哀哭，
42 说： "巴不得你在这日子， 知道关于你平安的事， 但现在这事在你眼前是隐藏的。
43 日子将到， 你的仇敌必筑垒攻击你， 周围环绕你， 四面困住你，
44 要摧毁你和你里面的儿女， 没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面， 因为你不知道那眷顾你的时期。"
45 耶稣进了圣殿， 就赶走作买卖的人，
46 对他们说： "经上记着： ‘我的殿是祷告的殿’， 你们竟把它弄成贼窝了。"
47 他天天在圣殿里教导人， 祭司长、经学家和民间的首领， 都想杀害他；
48 但他们不知道要怎样下手， 因为众人都围着他， 听他的教训。
