Lucas 19

Zaqueu, o publicano

1 Tendo Jesus *Lc 18.35entrado 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 *1Rs 10.27;1Cr 27.28;2Cr 1.15;9.27;Sl 78.47;Is 9.10; cp.Lc 17.6(?)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 isso, todos murmuravam, dizendo que ele tinha ido hospedar-se em casa de um pecador. 8 Zaqueu, levantando-se, disse a Jesus: *Lc 7.13Senhor, vou dar a metade dos meus bens aos pobres e, se em alguma coisa *Lc 3.14(Gr.)defraudei a alguém, lho restituirei *cp.Êx 22.1;Lv 6.5;Nm 5.7;2Sm 12.6quadruplicado. 9 Disse-lhe Jesus: Hoje, entrou a salvação nesta casa, porquanto este também é *cp.Lc 3.8;13.16;Rm 4.16;Gl 3.7filho de Abraão; 10 porque *Mt 18.11o Filho do Homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.

A parábola das dez minas

11 Ouvindo eles isso, prosseguiu Jesus e propôs uma parábola, visto estar *Lc 9.51ele perto de Jerusalém e pensarem eles que *Lc 17.20o reino de Deus havia de manifestar-se imediatamente. 12 Disse, pois: *Lc 19.12-27; cp.Mt 25.14-30Certo 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 *Lc 16.10fiel 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 *Mt 13.12;Lc 8.18Declaro-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, *Lc 19.14a esses meus inimigos, que não quiseram que eu os governasse, trazei-os aqui e *cp.Mt 22.7;Lc 20.16matai-os diante de mim.

Jesus vai a Jerusalém

28 Depois de ter Jesus assim falado, *Mc 10.32ia adiante deles, *Lc 9.51subindo para Jerusalém.

A entrada triunfal de Jesus em Jerusalém

29 *Lc 19.29-38;Mt 21.1-9;Mc 11.1-10Ao aproximar-se de Betfagé e de *Mt 21.17Betânia, junto ao monte chamado *Lc 21.37;At 1.12Olival, 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, *Lc 19.35-38;Jo 12.12-15lançando 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 *Mt 21.1; cp.Lc 19.29monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos começou, jubilosa, *Lc 18.43a louvar a Deus em altas vozes por todos os milagres que tinha visto, 38 dizendo: *Sl 118.26Bendito é o *Mt 2.2; cp.25.34Rei que vem em nome do Senhor! Paz no céu e *Lc 2.14; cp.Mt 21.9glória nas maiores alturas! 39 *cp.Mt 21.15s.Alguns dos fariseus dentre a multidão lhe disseram: Mestre, repreende os teus discípulos. 40 Respondeu-lhes: Declaro-vos que, se estes se calarem, *cp.Hc 2.11as pedras clamarão.

Jesus chora sobre Jerusalém

41 Quando Jesus já estava perto, ao ver a cidade, *cp.Lc 13.34-35chorou sobre ela, 42 dizendo: Ah! Se tu conheceras ainda hoje o que te pode trazer a paz! Mas isso está agora oculto aos teus olhos. 43 Pois sobre ti virão dias, em que os teus inimigos *cp.Ec 9.14;Is 29.3;37.33;Jr 6.6;Ez 4.2;26.8levantarão trincheiras em redor de ti, *Lc 21.20te cercarão e te apertarão de todos os lados 44 e te derribarão a ti bem como a teus filhos que estiverem dentro de ti; *Mt 24.2;Mc 13.2;Lc 21.6e não deixarão em ti pedra sobre pedra, porque não conheceste *1Pe 2.12o tempo da tua visitação.

A purificação do templo

45 *Lc 19.45-46;Mt 21.12-16;Mc 11.15-18; cp.Jo 2.13-16Tendo entrado no templo, começou a expulsar os que ali vendiam, 46 dizendo-lhes: Está escrito: *Is 56.7;Mt 21.13;Mc 11.17A minha casa será casa de oração, mas vós a fizestes um *Jr 7.11covil de salteadores.

Jesus ensina no templo

47 *Mt 26.55Todos os dias ensinava no templo; mas os principais sacerdotes, os escribas e os principais entre o povo *Lc 20.19procuravam tirar-lhe a vida 48 e não sabiam o que haviam de fazer; pois todo o povo o escutava com muita atenção.

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, *19:13 10 minas was more than 3 years’ wages for an agricultural laborer. 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*19:29 TR, NU read "Bethpage" instead of "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!✝19:38 Psalms 118:26 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,’ ✝19:46 Isaiah 56:7 but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!" ✝19:46 Jeremiah 7:11

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.
