Luke 19:1-28

1AndG2532 Jesus enteredG1525 and passedG1330 through JerichoG2410. 2AndG2532, beholdG3708, there was a manG435 namedG2564 ZacchæusG2195, whichG846 wasG1510 the chief among the publicansG754, andG2532 heG3778 wasG1510 richG4145. 3AndG2532 he soughtG2212 to seeG3708 JesusG3588G2424 whoG5101 he wasG1510; andG2532 couldG1410 notG3756 forG575 the pressG3588G3793, becauseG3754 he wasG1510 littleG3398 of statureG3588G2244. 4AndG2532 he ranG4390 beforeG1715, and climbed upG305 intoG1909 a sycomore treeG4809 toG2443 seeG3708 himG846: forG3754 he wasG3195 to passG1330 thatG1565 way. 5AndG2532 whenG5613 JesusG3588G2424 cameG2064 toG1909 the placeG3588G5117, he looked upG308, and sawG3708 himG846, andG2532 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, ZacchæusG2195, make hasteG4692, and come downG2597; forG1063 to dayG4594 IG1473 mustG1163 abideG3306 atG1722 thyG4771 houseG3588G3624. 6AndG2532 he made hasteG4692, and came downG2597, andG2532 receivedG5264 himG846 joyfullyG5463. 7And whenG2532 they sawG3708 it, they allG537 murmuredG1234, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 he was goneG1525 to be guestG2647 withG3844 a manG435 that is a sinnerG268. 8AndG1161 ZacchæusG2195 stoodG2476, and saidG3004 untoG4314 the LordG3588G2962; BeholdG3708, LordG2962, the halfG2255 of myG1473 goodsG5225 I giveG1325 to the poorG4434; andG2532 ifG1487 I have takenG4811 any thingG5100 from any manG5100 by false accusationG4811, I restoreG591 him fourfoldG5073. 9AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, This dayG4594 is salvationG4991 comeG1096 to thisG3778 houseG3588G3624, forsomuchG3754 asG2530 heG846 alsoG2532 isG1510 a sonG5207 of AbrahamG11. 10ForG1063 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 is comeG2064 to seekG2212 andG2532 to saveG4982 that whichG3588 was lostG622. 11And asG1161 theyG846 heardG191 these thingsG3778, he addedG4369 and spakeG3004 a parableG3850, becauseG1223 heG846 wasG1510 nighG1451 to JerusalemG2419, and becauseG2532 theyG846 thoughtG1380 thatG3754 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 shouldG3195 immediatelyG3916 appearG398. 12He saidG3004 thereforeG3767, A certainG5100 noblemanG2104 wentG4198 intoG1519 a farG3117 countryG5561 to receiveG2983 for himselfG1438 a kingdomG932, andG2532 to returnG5290. 13AndG1161 he calledG2564 hisG1438 tenG1176 servantsG1401, and deliveredG1325 themG846 tenG1176 poundsG3414, andG2532 saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, OccupyG4231 tillG2193 I comeG2064. 14ButG1161 hisG846 citizensG4177 hatedG3404 himG846, andG2532 sentG649 a messageG4242 afterG3694 himG846, sayingG3004, We willG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 thisG3778 man to reignG936 overG1909 usG1473. 15AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that whenG1722 he wasG846 returnedG1880, having receivedG2983 the kingdomG3588G932, thenG2532 he commandedG3004 theseG3778 servantsG3588G1401 to be calledG5455 unto himG846, to whomG3739 he had givenG1325 the moneyG3588G694, thatG2443 he might knowG1097 how muchG5101 every manG5101 had gained by tradingG1281. 16ThenG1161 cameG3854 the firstG4413, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thyG4771 poundG3588G3414 hath gainedG4333 tenG1176 poundsG3414. 17AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto himG846, WellG2095, thou goodG18 servantG1401: becauseG3754 thou hast beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 a very littleG1646, have thouG1510 authorityG1849 overG1883 tenG1176 citiesG4172. 18AndG2532 the secondG1208 cameG2064, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thyG4771 poundG3588G3414 hath gainedG4160 fiveG4002 poundsG3414. 19AndG1161 he saidG3004 likewiseG2532 to himG3778, BeG1096 thouG4771 alsoG2532 overG1883 fiveG4002 citiesG4172. 20AndG2532 anotherG2087 cameG2064, sayingG3004, LordG2962, beholdG3708, here is thyG4771 poundG3588G3414, whichG3739 I haveG2192 kept laid upG606 inG1722 a napkinG4676: 21ForG1063 I fearedG5399 theeG4771, becauseG3754 thou artG1510 an austereG840 manG444: thou takest upG142 thatG3739 thou layedstG5087 notG3756 downG5087, andG2532 reapestG2325 thatG3739 thou didstG4687 notG3756 sowG4687. 22AndG1161 he saithG3004 unto himG846, Out ofG1537 thine ownG4771 mouthG3588G4750 will I judgeG2919 theeG4771, thou wickedG4190 servantG1401. Thou knewestG1492 thatG3754 IG1473 wasG1510 an austereG840 manG444, taking upG142 thatG3739 I laidG5087 notG3756 downG5087, andG2532 reapingG2325 thatG3739 I didG4687 notG3756 sowG4687: 23WhereforeG1223 thenG2532 gavestG1325 notG3756 thouG1325 myG1473 moneyG3588G694 intoG1909 the bankG3588G5132, that atG2532 myG1473 comingG2064 I might have requiredG4238 mine ownG846 withG4862 usuryG5110? 24AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto them thatG3588 stood byG3936, TakeG142 fromG575 himG846 the poundG3414, andG2532 giveG1325 it to him thatG3588 hathG2192 tenG1176 poundsG3414. 25(AndG2532 they saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, he hathG2192 tenG1176 poundsG3414.) 26ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 unto every oneG3956 whichG3588 hathG2192 shall be givenG1325; andG1161 fromG575 himG3588 that hathG2192 notG3361, evenG2532 thatG3739 he hathG2192 shall be taken awayG142 fromG575 himG846. 27ButG4133 thoseG1565 mineG1473 enemiesG2190, whichG3588 wouldG2309 notG3361 that IG1473 should reignG936 overG1909 themG846, bringG71 hitherG5602, andG2532 slayG2695 them beforeG1715 meG1473.

28AndG2532 when he hadG3004 thusG3778 spokenG3004, he wentG4198 beforeG1715, ascending upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414.
