²And, behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. Copy Many Bible Versions

³And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁵And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁶And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁷And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁸And Zaccheus 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. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁹And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. Copy Many Bible Versions

¹¹And 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. Copy Many Bible Versions

¹²He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. Copy Many Bible Versions

¹³And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. Copy Many Bible Versions

¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. Copy Many Bible Versions

¹⁵And 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. Copy Many Bible Versions

¹⁶Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. Copy Many Bible Versions

¹⁷And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. Copy Many Bible Versions

¹⁸And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. Copy Many Bible Versions

¹⁹And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. Copy Many Bible Versions

²⁰And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: Copy Many Bible Versions

²¹For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. Copy Many Bible Versions

²²And 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: Copy Many Bible Versions

²³Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? Copy Many Bible Versions

²⁴And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. Copy Many Bible Versions

²⁵(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) Copy Many Bible Versions

²⁶For 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. Copy Many Bible Versions

²⁷But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Copy Many Bible Versions

²⁸And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. Copy Many Bible Versions

²⁹And 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, Copy Many Bible Versions

³⁰Saying, 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. Copy Many Bible Versions

³¹And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. Copy Many Bible Versions

³²And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. Copy Many Bible Versions

³³And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? Copy Many Bible Versions

³⁴And they said, The Lord hath need of him. Copy Many Bible Versions

³⁵And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. Copy Many Bible Versions

³⁶And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. Copy Many Bible Versions

³⁷And 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; Copy Many Bible Versions

³⁸Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. Copy Many Bible Versions

³⁹And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴⁰And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴¹And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴²Saying, 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. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴³For 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, Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴⁴And 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. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴⁵And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴⁶Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴⁷And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, Copy Many Bible Versions

⁴⁸And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him. Copy Many Bible Versions
