Luke 19:21-44

21for I was afraidG5399 of you, becauseG3754 you are an exactingG840 manG444; you takeG142 up whatG3739 you did not layG5087 downG5087 and reapG2325 whatG3739 you did not sowG4687.’ 22He saidG3004 to him, ‘1By your own wordsG4750 I will judgeG2919 you, you worthlessG4190 slaveG1401. Did you knowG3609 that I amG1510 an exactingG840 manG444, takingG142 up whatG3739 I did not layG5087 downG5087 and reapingG2325 whatG3739 I did not sowG4687? 23ThenG2532 whyG1223G5101 did you not putG1325 my moneyG694 in the bankG5132, and having comeG2064, I would have collectedG4238 it with interestG5110?’ 24ThenG2532 he saidG3004 to the bystandersG3936, ‘TakeG142 the minaG3414 awayG142 from him and giveG1325 it to the one who hasG2192 the tenG1176 minasG3414.’ 25And they saidG3004 to him, ‘MasterG2962, he hasG2192 tenG1176 minasG3414 already.’ 26‘2I tellG3004 you that to everyoneG3956 who hasG2192, more shall be givenG1325, but from the one who does not haveG2192, evenG2532 whatG3739 he does haveG2192 shall be takenG142 awayG142. 27But 3theseG3778 enemiesG2190 of mineG1473, who did not wantG2309 me to reignG936 overG1909 them, bringG71 them hereG5602 and 4slayG2695 them in my presenceG1715.’”

28After He had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, He 5was goingG4198 on aheadG1715, 6goingG4198 up to JerusalemG2414.

297WhenG5613 He approachedG1448 BethphageG967 and 8BethanyG963, nearG4314 the 9mountG3735 that is calledG2564 10OlivetG1638, He sentG649 twoG1417 of the disciplesG3101, 30sayingG3004, “GoG5217 into the villageG2968 aheadG2713 of you; thereG3739, as you enterG1531, you will findG2147 a coltG4454 tiedG1210 on whichG3739 noG3762 oneG444G3762 yetG4455 has everG4455 satG2523; untieG3089 it and bringG71 it here. 31IfG1437 anyoneG5100 asksG2065 you, ‘WhyG1223G5101 are you untyingG3089 it?’ you shall sayG3004, ‘The LordG2962 hasG2192 needG5532 of it.’” 32SoG1161 thoseG3588 who were sentG649 wentG565 awayG565 and foundG2147 it justG2531 as He had toldG3004 them. 33As they were untyingG3089 the coltG4454, its 11ownersG2962 saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you untyingG3089 the coltG4454?” 34They saidG3004, “The LordG2962 hasG2192 needG5532 of it.” 35They broughtG71 it to JesusG2424, 12and they threwG1977 their coatsG2440 on the coltG4454 and putG1913 JesusG2424 on it. 36As He was goingG4198, they were spreadingG5291 their coatsG2440 on the roadG3598. 37As soonG1448 as He was approachingG1448, nearG4314 the descentG2600 of 13the MountG3735 of OlivesG1636, the wholeG537 crowdG4128 of the disciplesG3101 beganG757 to 14praiseG134 GodG2316 15joyfullyG5463 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 for allG3956 the 16miraclesG1411 whichG3739 they had seenG3708, 38shoutingG3004: “17BlessedG2127 is the 18KingG935 who comesG2064 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962; PeaceG1515 in heavenG3772 and 19gloryG1391 in the highestG5310!” 3920SomeG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 21in the crowdG3793 saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, rebukeG2008 Your disciplesG3101.” 40But Jesus answeredG611, “I tellG3004 you, ifG1437 theseG3778 becomeG4623 silentG4623, 22the stonesG3037 will cryG2896 out!”

41WhenG5613 He approachedG1448 Jerusalem, He sawG3708 the cityG4172 and 23weptG2799 overG1909 it, 42sayingG3004, “IfG1487 you had knownG1097 in thisG3778 dayG2250, evenG2532 you, the things which make for peaceG1515! But nowG3568 they have been hiddenG2928 from your eyesG3788. 43For the daysG2250 will comeG2240 upon you 24whenG2532 your enemiesG2190 will 25throwG3925 up a 26barricadeG5482 against you, and 27surroundG4033 you and hemG4912 you in on everyG3840 sideG3840, 44and they will levelG1474 you to the groundG1474 and your childrenG5043 withinG1722 you, and 28they will not leaveG863 in you one stoneG3037 upon anotherG3037, becauseG473G3739 you did not recognizeG1097 29the timeG2540 of your visitationG1984.”
