   Luke Chapter 19   
      
   1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.   
      
   2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, 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, Zacchaeus, 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 Zacchaeus 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.   
      
   Luke Chapter 20   
      
   1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the   
   people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the   
   scribes came upon him with the elders,   
      
   2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou   
   these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?   
      
   3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and   
   answer me:   
      
   4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?   
      
   5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From   
   heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?   
      
   6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be   
   persuaded that John was a prophet.   
      
   7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.   
      
   8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do   
   these things.   
      
   9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man   
   planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far   
   country for a long time.   
      
   10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they   
   should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat   
   him, and sent him away empty.   
      
   11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and
