1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, 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, 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, That he was gone to be guest 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 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.
Zakhajs
1 Ienācis Jērikā, Jēzus devās cauri pilsētai. 2 Un, redzi, tur bija kāds vīrs, vārdā Zakhajs, viņš bija virsmuitnieks un bagāts. 3 Viņš pūlējās ieraudzīt Jēzu, kāds viņš ir, bet nevarēja ļaužu pūļa dēļ, jo augumā bija mazs. 4 Paskrējis tālāk uz priekšu, tas uzkāpa sikomores kokā, lai viņu ieraudzītu, jo viņam vajadzēja tur iet garām. 5 Kad Jēzus nonāca tajā vietā, paskatījies uz augšu, viņš sacīja tam: “Zakhaj, kāp steigšus zemē, jo man šodien jāpaliek tavā namā.” 6 Tas steigšus nokāpa un ar prieku viņu uzņēma. 7 To ieraudzījuši, visi kurnēja, teikdami: “Pie grēcīga vīra viņš apmeties.” 8 Bet Zakhajs piecēlies sacīja Kungam: “Redzi, Kungs, pusi no savas mantas esmu gatavs atdot nabagiem, un, ja esmu no kāda netaisnīgi kaut ko izspiedis, to atdošu četrkārtīgi.” 9 Jēzus viņam sacīja: “Šodien šim namam pestīšana ir notikusi, jo arī šis ir Ābrahāma dēls. 10 Jo Cilvēka Dēls ir nācis, lai meklētu un glābtu pazudušo.”
Līdzība par uzticēto naudu
(Mt 25:14–30)11 Viņiem klausoties, viņš stāstīja vēl vienu līdzību, tādēļ ka viņš bija jau tuvu Jeruzālemei, un viņi domāja, ka Dieva valstība tūlīt parādīsies. 12 Tad viņš stāstīja: “Kāds dižciltīgs cilvēks aizceļoja uz tālu zemi, lai saņemtu ķēniņa varu un tad atgrieztos. 13 Sasaucis desmit savus kalpus, viņš iedeva tiem desmit naudas gabalus un sacīja tiem: saimniekojiet, kamēr es pārnāku. 14 Līdzpilsoņi viņu neieredzēja un sūtīja nopakaļ sūtņus, likdami sacīt: mēs negribam, ka viņš valdītu pār mums. 15 Kļuvis par ķēniņu, viņš atgriezās un lika sasaukt kalpus, kuriem bija iedevis naudu, lai uzzinātu, ko tie bija nopelnījuši. 16 Pirmais kalps ieradās, teikdams: kungs, tavs naudas gabals nopelnījis desmitkārt. 17 Tam viņš sacīja: lieliski, krietnais kalp! Tu esi bijis uzticams mazās lietās, tad valdi pār desmit pilsētām! 18 Tad nāca otrais, sacīdams: tavs naudas gabals, kungs, nopelnījis pieckārt. 19 Un tam viņš sacīja: valdi tu pār piecām pilsētām! 20 Tad nāca vēl cits kalps, sacīdams: kungs, redzi, tavs naudas gabals, ko turēju noglabātu sviedrautā. 21 Es baidījos no tevis, jo tu esi bargs vīrs. Tu ņem, ko neesi nolicis, un pļauj, ko neesi sējis. 22 Tam viņš sacīja: pēc taviem paša vārdiem es tevi tiesāšu, nelietīgais kalps! Tu zināji, ka esmu bargs cilvēks un ka es ņemu, ko neesmu nolicis, un pļauju, ko neesmu sējis. 23 Kādēļ tad tu nedevi manu naudu augļotājam? Pārnācis es to atgūtu ar peļņu. 24 Un tiem klātesošajiem viņš sacīja: atņemiet viņam šo naudas gabalu un atdodiet tam, kam ir desmit. 25 Un tie sacīja viņam: kungs, viņam jau ir desmit. 26 Es jums saku: ikvienam, kam ir, tiks dots, bet, kam nav, tiks atņemts arī tas, kas tam ir. 27 Bet manus ienaidniekus, kuri negribēja, ka es valdītu pār tiem, atvediet šurp un nokaujiet manā priekšā!”
Jēzus iejāj Jeruzālemē
(Mt 21:1–11Mk 11:1–11Jņ 12:12–19)28 To pateicis, viņš turpināja ceļu uz Jeruzālemi. 29 Kad viņš tuvojās Bētfagei un Bētanijai, pie tā sauktā Olīvkalna, viņš sūtīja divus savus mācekļus, 30 tiem sacīdams: “Noejiet uz šo ciemu, kas pretī. Tur iegājuši, jūs atradīsiet piesietu ēzelīti, uz kura neviens cilvēks nekad vēl nav sēdējis. To atsieniet un atvediet! 31 Ja kāds jums jautā: kādēļ jūs to atraisāt? – tad sakiet: tas ir vajadzīgs Kungam.” 32 Un tie, kas bija sūtīti, aizgāja un atrada visu, kā viņš bija sacījis. 33 Viņiem atraisot ēzelīti, saimnieki tiem jautāja: “Kādēļ jūs atraisāt ēzelīti?” 34 Viņi sacīja: “Kungam tas vajadzīgs.” 35 Un viņi atveda to pie Jēzus un, uzmetuši ēzelītim savas drēbes, uzsēdināja Jēzu tam virsū. 36 Viņam jājot, tie klāja savas drēbes uz ceļa. 37 Kad viņš tuvojās vietai, kur ceļš ved lejup no Olīvkalna, viss mācekļu pulks priecādamies skaļā balsī sāka slavēt Dievu par visiem brīnumiem, ko bija redzējuši. 38 Tie sauca: “Svētīts ir Ķēniņš, kas nāk Kunga vārdā ; miers debesīs un gods augstībā!” 39 Daži farizeji no pūļa viņam sacīja: “Skolotāj, apsauc savus mācekļus!” 40 Bet viņš atbildēja: “Es jums saku: ja viņi klusēs, tad akmeņi brēks.”
Jēzus raud par Jeruzālemi
41 Kad viņš pienāca tuvāk pilsētai, uzlūkojis to, viņš sāka raudāt, 42 sacīdams: “Ak, kaut tu šodien būtu sapratusi, kas nes tev mieru. Bet tas vēl ir apslēpts tavām acīm. 43 Nāks dienas pār tevi, kad tavi ienaidnieki cels ap tevi nocietinājumus, tevi ielenks un spiedīsies uz tevi no visām pusēm. 44 Tie notrieks tevi zemē un tavus bērnus, kas ir tevī, un neatstās akmeni uz akmens, tādēļ ka tu neapzinājies laiku, kad Dievs tevi apmeklēja.”
Jēzus izdzen tirgotājus no tempļa
(Mt 21:12–17Mk 11:15–19Jņ 2:13–22)45 Iegājis templī, viņš sāka dzīt ārā tos, kas templī tirgojās, 46 tiem sacīdams: “Ir rakstīts: mans nams būs lūgšanas nams, bet jūs to esat padarījuši par laupītāju midzeni.” 47 Viņš mācīja templī ik dienas. Bet virspriesteri un rakstu mācītāji, tāpat arī ievērojamākie no tautas meklēja, kā viņu nonāvēt, 48 bet nesaprata, kā to izdarīt, jo visa tauta viņam bija pieķērusies un viņā klausījās.
