Ierichō G2410 . 4 And he ran on before G1715 , and climbed G305 up into a sycomore tree to see G3708 him : for he was to pass διέρχεσθαι. dierchesthai G1330 that way . 6 And he made haste , and came G2597 down κατέβη katebē G2597 , and received him joyfully . 7 And when they saw G3708 it , they all murmured, saying λέγοντες legontes G3004 , He is gone G1525 in to lodge with a man ἀνδρὶ andri G435 that is a sinner G268 . 8 And Zacchæus stood G2476 , and said G3004 unto the Lord κύριον· kurion G2962 , Behold ἰδοὺ idou G2400 , Lord κύριε, kurie G2962 , the half ἡμίσιά hēmisia G2255 of my goods I give δίδωμι· didōmi G1325 to the poor πτωχοῖς ptōchois G4434 ; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man , I restore fourfold. 11 And as they heard Ἀκουόντων Akouontōn G191 these things ταῦτα tauta G3778 , he added G4369 and spake a parable παραβολὴν parabolēn G3850 , because he was G1510 nigh to Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλὴμ Ierousalēm G2419 , and because they supposed that the kingdom βασιλεία basileia G932 of God θεοῦ theou G2316 was G1510 immediately παραχρῆμα parachrēma G3916 to appear . 12 He said G3004 therefore οὖν· oun G3767 , A certain τις tis G5100 nobleman went G4198 into a far country χώραν chōran G5561 , to receive λαβεῖν labein G2983 for himself a kingdom βασιλείαν basileian G932 , and to return ὑποστρέψαι. hupostrepsai G5290 . 13 And he called καλέσας kalesas G2564 ten δέκα deka G1176 servants δούλους doulous G1401 of his , and gave G1325 them ten δέκα deka G1176 pounds, and said G3004 unto them , Trade ye herewith till I come ἔρχομαι. erchomai G2064 . 14 But his citizens πολῖται politai G4177 hated ἐμίσουν emisoun G3404 him , and sent G649 an ambassage after him , saying λέγοντες· legontes G3004 , We will not that this man τοῦτον touton G3778 reign βασιλεῦσαι basileusai G936 over us . 15 And it came G1096 to pass ἐγένετο egeneto G1096 , when he was come G1096 back again , having received G2983 the kingdom βασιλείαν basileian G932 , that he commanded these servants δούλους doulous G1401 , unto whom he had given G1325 the money ἀργύριον, argurion G694 , to be called to him , that he might know γνοῖ gnoi G1097 what they had gained by trading. 16 And the first πρῶτος prōtos G4413 came G3854 before him, saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , Lord κύριε, kurie G2962 , thy pound hath made ten δέκα deka G1176 pounds more . 17 And he said G3004 unto him , Well done , thou good ἀγαθὲ agathe G18 servant δοῦλε, doule G1401 : because thou wast found faithful πιστὸς pistos G4103 in a very little ἐλαχίστῳ elachistō G1646 , have thou authority ἐξουσίαν exousian G1849 over ten δέκα deka G1176 cities πόλεων.¶ poleōn G4172 . 20 And another came G2064 , saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , Lord κύριε, kurie G2962 , behold ἰδοὺ idou G2400 , here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared G5399 thee, because thou art an austere man ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos G444 : thou takest up that which thou layedst not down ἔθηκας ethēkas G5087 , and reapest that which thou didst not sow ἔσπειρας.¶ espeiras G4687 . 22 He saith unto him , Out of thine own mouth στόματός stomatos G4750 will I judge κρινῶ krinō G2919 thee, thou wicked G4190 servant δοῦλε. doule G1401 . Thou knewest that I am G1510 an austere man ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos G444 , taking G142 up that which I laid ἔθηκα ethēka G5087 not down G5087 , and reaping θερίζων therizōn G2325 that which I did not sow ἔσπειρα· espeira G4687 ; 23 then wherefore gavest thou not my money ἀργύριον argurion G694 into the bank , and I at my coming ἐλθὼν elthōn G2064 should have required it with interest τόκῳ tokō G5110 ? 26 I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , that unto every one G3739 that hath shall be given G1325 ; but from him that hath not , even καὶ kai G2532 that which he hath shall be taken G142 away ἀρθήσεται arthēsetai G142 from him . 27 But these mine G1473 enemies ἐχθρούς echthrous G2190 , that would not that I should reign βασιλεῦσαι basileusai G936 over them , bring ἀγάγετε agagete G71 hither, and slay them before me . 30 saying G3004 , Go ὑπάγετε hupagete G5217 your way into the village κώμην, kōmēn G2968 over against you ; in which as ye enter εἰσπορευόμενοι eisporeuomenoi G1531 ye shall find εὑρήσετε heurēsete G2147 a colt πῶλον pōlon G4454 tied , whereon no man G444 ever πώποτε pōpote G4455 yet sat G2523 : loose G3089 him , and bring ἀγάγετε. agagete G71 him . 35 And they brought G71 him to Jesus Ἰησοῦν, Iēsoun G2424 : and they threw their garments ἱμάτια himatia G2440 upon the colt πῶλον pōlon G4454 , and set Jesus Ἰησοῦν. Iēsoun G2424 thereon. 37 And as he was now G1161 drawing Ἐγγίζοντος Engizontos G1448 nigh, even at the descent of the mount ὄρους orous G3735 of Olives , the whole multitude πλῆθος plēthos G4128 of the disciples G3101 began G757 to rejoice G5463 and praise αἰνεῖν ainein G134 God θεὸν theon G2316 with a loud μεγάλῃ megalē G3173 voice φωνῇ phōnēa G5456 for all the mighty δυνάμεων dunameōn G1411 works which they had seen G3708 ; 39 And some of the Pharisees Φαρισαίων Pharisaiōn G5330 from the multitude G3793 said G3004 unto him , Teacher διδάσκαλε, didaskale G1320 , rebuke ἐπιτίμησον epitimēson G2008 thy disciples G3101 . 40 And he answered ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis G611 and said λέγω legō G3004 , I tell G3004 you that , if these shall hold their peace, the stones G3037 will cry κράξουσιν.¶ kraxousin G2896 out . 43 For the days ἡμέραι hēmerai G2250 shall come ἥξουσιν hēxousin G2240 upon thee, when thine enemies ἐχθροί echthroi G2190 shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side πάντοθεν pantothen G3840 , 44 and shall dash thee to the ground , and thy children G5043 within thee; and they shall not leave ἀφήσουσιν aphēsousin G863 in thee one G3739 stone G3037 upon another ; because thou knewest not the time G2540 of thy visitation ἐπισκοπῆς episkopēs G1984 . 45 And he entered εἰσελθὼν eiselthōn G1525 into the temple ἱερὸν hi'eron G2411 , and began G757 to cast ἐκβάλλειν ekballein G1544 out them that sold πωλοῦντας pōlountas G4453 , 47 And he was G1510 teaching διδάσκων didaskōn G1321 daily in the temple .
