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。
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.
