Bible (KJV) NT 03: Luke

42:019:001 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 42:019:002 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 42:019:003 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 42:019:004 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 42:019:005 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 42:019:006 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 42:019:007 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 42:019:008 And Zacchaeus 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. 42:019:009 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 42:019:010 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 42:019:011 And 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. 42:019:012 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 42:019:013 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 42:019:014 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 42:019:015 And 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. 42:019:016 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 42:019:017 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 42:019:018 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 42:019:019 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 42:019:020 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 42:019:021 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 42:019:022 And 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: 42:019:023 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 42:019:024 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 42:019:025 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 42:019:026 For 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. 42:019:027 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. 42:019:028 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 42:019:029 And 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, 42:019:030 Saying, 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. 42:019:031 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 42:019:032 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 42:019:033 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 42:019:034 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 42:019:035 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 42:019:036 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 42:019:037 And 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; 42:019:038 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 42:019:039 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 42:019:040 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 42:019:041 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42:019:042 Saying, 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. 42:019:043 For 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, 42:019:044 And 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. 42:019:045 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 42:019:046 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 42:019:047 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 42:019:048 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him. 42:020:001 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 42:020:002 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? 42:020:003 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 42:020:004 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? 42:020:005 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? 42:020:006 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. 42:020:007 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. 42:020:008 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 42:020:009 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. 42:020:010 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. 42:020:011 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 42:020:012 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 42:020:013 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. 42:020:014 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 42:020:015 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? 42:020:016 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. 42:020:017 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? 42:020:018 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 42:020:019 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. 42:020:020 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. 42:020:021 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly: 42:020:022 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 42:020:023 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? 42:020:024 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. 42:020:025 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. 42:020:026 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. 42:020:027 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, 42:020:028 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 42:020:029 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. 42:020:030 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. 42:020:031 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. 42:020:032 Last of all the woman died also. 42:020:033 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. 42:020:034 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 42:020:035 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 42:020:036 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 42:020:037 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 42:020:038 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. 42:020:039 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. 42:020:040 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. 42:020:041 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? 42:020:042 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 42:020:043 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 42:020:044 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 42:020:045 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, 42:020:046 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 42:020:047 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
