When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”

All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”
But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’
“But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
“And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
“He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’
“The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’
“ ‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’
“The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’
“His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
“Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.
“Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth.
I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.
“His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?
Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’
Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
“And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’
“Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
“He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.’ ”
But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them — bring them here and kill them in front of me.’ ”

“Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’ ”
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’ ”

For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,
The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.
and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”
