Luke 19

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.

Zaqueu, o coletor de impostos

1 E, tendo Jesus entrado em Jericó, ia passando. 2 E eis que havia ali um homem chamado Zaqueu; e era este um chefe dos publicanos, e era rico. 3 E procurava ver quem era Jesus, e não podia, por causa da multidão, pois era de pequena estatura. 4 E, correndo adiante, subiu a um sicômoro para o ver; porque havia de passar por ali. 5 E quando Jesus chegou àquele lugar, olhando para cima, viu-o e disse-lhe: Zaqueu, desce depressa, porque hoje me convém pousar em tua casa.

6 E, apressando-se, desceu, e recebeu-o alegremente. 7 E, vendo todos isto, murmuravam, dizendo que entrara para ser hóspede de um homem pecador. 8 E, levantando-se Zaqueu, disse ao Senhor: Senhor, eis que eu dou aos pobres metade dos meus bens; e, se nalguma coisa tenho defraudado alguém, o restituo quadruplicado.

9 E disse-lhe Jesus: Hoje veio a salvação a esta casa, pois também este é filho de Abraão.

10 Porque o Filho do homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.

A parábola das dez moedas

Mateus 25:14-30

11 E, ouvindo eles estas coisas, ele prosseguiu, e contou uma parábola; porquanto estava perto de Jerusalém, e cuidavam que logo se havia de manifestar o reino de Deus. 12 Disse pois: Certo homem nobre partiu para uma terra remota, a fim de tomar para si um reino e voltar depois.

13 E, chamando dez servos seus, deu-lhes dez minas, e disse-lhes: Negociai até que eu venha. 14 Mas os seus concidadãos odiavam-no, e mandaram após ele embaixadores, dizendo: Não queremos que este reine sobre nós.

15 E aconteceu que, voltando ele, depois de ter tomado o reino, disse que lhe chamassem aqueles servos, a quem tinha dado o dinheiro, para saber o que cada um tinha ganhado, negociando.

16 E veio o primeiro, dizendo: Senhor, a tua mina rendeu dez minas. 17 E ele lhe disse: Bem está, servo bom, porque no mínimo foste fiel, sobre dez cidades terás autoridade.

18 E veio o segundo, dizendo: Senhor, a tua mina rendeu cinco minas. 19 E a este disse também: Sê tu também sobre cinco cidades.

20 E veio outro, dizendo: Senhor, aqui está a tua mina, que guardei num lenço; 21 Porque tive medo de ti, que és homem rigoroso, que tomas o que não puseste, e segas o que não semeaste. 22 Porém, ele lhe disse: Mau servo, pela tua boca te julgarei. Sabias que eu sou homem rigoroso, que tomo o que não pus, e sego o que não semeei; 23 Por que não puseste, pois, o meu dinheiro no banco, para que eu, vindo, o exigisse com os juros?

24 E disse aos que estavam com ele: Tirai-lhe a mina, e dai-a ao que tem dez minas. 25 (E disseram-lhe eles: Senhor, ele tem dez minas.) 26 Pois eu vos digo que a qualquer que tiver ser-lhe-á dado, mas ao que não tiver, até o que tem lhe será tirado. 27 E quanto àqueles meus inimigos que não quiseram que eu reinasse sobre eles, trazei-os aqui, e matai-os diante de mim.

A entrada de Jesus em Jerusalém

Mateus 21:1-11; Marcos 11:1-11; João 12:12-19

28 E, dito isto, ia caminhando adiante, subindo para Jerusalém. 29 E aconteceu que, chegando perto de Betfagé, e de Betânia, ao monte chamado das Oliveiras, mandou dois dos seus discípulos, 30 Dizendo: Ide à aldeia que está defronte, e aí, ao entrar, achareis preso um jumentinho em que nenhum homem ainda montou; soltai-o e trazei-o.

31 E, se alguém vos perguntar: Por que o soltais? Assim lhe direis: Porque o Senhor o há de mister.

32 E, indo os que haviam sido mandados, acharam como lhes dissera. 33 E, quando soltaram o jumentinho, seus donos lhes disseram: Por que soltais o jumentinho?

34 E eles responderam: O Senhor o há de mister.

35 E trouxeram-no a Jesus; e, lançando sobre o jumentinho as suas vestes, puseram Jesus em cima.

36 E, indo ele, estendiam no caminho as suas vestes. 37 E, quando já chegava perto da descida do Monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos, regozijando-se, começou a dar louvores a Deus em alta voz, por todas as maravilhas que tinham visto, 38 Dizendo: Bendito o Rei que vem em nome do Senhor; paz no céu, e glória nas alturas.

39 E disseram-lhe de entre a multidão alguns dos fariseus: Mestre, repreende os teus discípulos.

40 E, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Digo-vos que, se estes se calarem, as próprias pedras clamarão.

Jesus pranteia ao ver Jerusalém

41 E, quando ia chegando, vendo a cidade, chorou sobre ela, 42 Dizendo: Ah! Se tu conhecesses também, ao menos neste teu dia, o que à tua paz pertence! Mas agora isto está encoberto aos teus olhos.

43 Porque dias virão sobre ti, em que os teus inimigos te cercarão de trincheiras, e te sitiarão, e te estreitarão de todos os lados; 44 E te derrubarão, a ti e aos teus filhos que dentro de ti estiverem, e não deixarão em ti pedra sobre pedra, pois que não conheceste o tempo da tua visitação.

A purificação da casa de Deus

Mateus 21:12-17; Marcos 11:15-19; João 2:13-22

45 E, entrando no templo, começou a expulsar todos os que nele vendiam e compravam, 46 Dizendo-lhes: Está escrito: A minha casa é casa de oração; mas vós fizestes dela covil de salteadores.

47 E todos os dias ensinava no templo; mas os principais sacerdotes, e os escribas, e os principais do povo procuravam matá-lo. 48 E não achavam meio de o fazer, porque todo o povo pendia para ele, escutando-o.
