1 And Iesus entred, and passed thorow Iericho.

2 And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, which was the cheefe among the Publicanes, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see Iesus who he was, and could not for the prease, because he was litle of stature.

4 And he ranne before, and climed vp into a sycomore tree to see him, for he was to passe that way.

5 And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp and saw him, and said vnto him, Zacheus, make haste, & come downe, for to day I must abide at thy house.

6 And he made haste, and came downe, and receiued him ioyfully.

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

8 And Zacheus stood, and said vnto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore, & if I haue taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him foure fold.

9 And Iesus said vnto him, This day is saluation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is the sonne of Abraham.

10 For the sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.

11 And as they heard these things, he added, and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Hierusalem, and because they thought that the kingdome of God should immediately appeare.

12 He said therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and to returne.

13 And hee called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pounds, and said vnto them, Occupy till I come.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We wil not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.

15 And it came to passe, that when he was returned, hauing receiued the kingdome, then hee commaunded these seruants to be called vnto him, to whom he had giuen the money, that hee might know how much euery man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

17 And he said vnto him, Well, thou good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very little, haue thou authoritie ouer ten cities.

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained fiue pounds.

19 And hee said likewise to him, Bee thou also ouer fiue cities.

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound which I haue kept layd vp in a napkin:

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest vp that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

22 And hee saith vnto him, Out of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, thou wicked seruant: Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking vp that I layde not downe, and reaping that I did not sow.

23 Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the bancke, that at my comming I might haue required mine owne with vsury?

24 And he said vnto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and giue it to him that hath ten pounds.

25 And they said vnto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.

26 For I say vnto you, That vnto euery one which hath, shalbe giuen, and from him that hath not, euen that hee hath shalbe taken away from him.

27 But those mine enemies which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before mee.

28 ¶ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.

29 And it came to passe when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethanie, at the mount called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples,

30 Saying, Goe ye into the village ouer against you, in the which at your entring ye shall find a Colt tied, whereon yet neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither.

31 And if any man aske you, Why do ye loose him? Thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him.

32 And they that were sent, went their way, and found euen as hee had said vnto them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said vnto them, Why loose ye the Colt?

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

35 And they brought him to Iesus: and they cast their garments vpon the Colt, and they set Iesus thereon.

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

37 And when he was come nigh euen now at the descent of the mount of Oliues, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce and praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty workes that they had seene,

38 Saying, Blessed bee the King that commeth in the Name of the Lord, peace in heauen, and glory in the Highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude saide vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answered, and said vnto them, I tell you, that if these should holde their peace, the stones would immediatly cry out.

41 ¶ And when he was come neere, he beheld the city and wept ouer it,

42 Saying, If thou hadst knowen, euen thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong vnto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 For the dayes shall come vpon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compasse thee round, and keepe thee in on euery side,

44 And shall lay thee euen with the ground, and thy children within thee: and they shall not leaue in thee one stone vpon another, because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

45 And he went into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde therein, and them that bought,

46 Saying vnto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.

47 And he taught daily in the Temple. But the chiefe Priestes and the Scribes, and the chiefe of the people sought to destroy him,

48 And could not finde what they might doe: for all the people were very attentiue to heare him.

Jay's Luke Chapter 19 comment on 1/26/2013, 7:51am...

The parable of the pounds:
1. Parables are used by Jesus as an object lesson using a physical to help Christians understand spiritual;
2. Here are some clues to help in interpretation of this parable;
3. The number 10 is the number of the gentiles;
4. Pounds are England’s monetary unit;
5. Monies are spiritual gifts given by the holy spirit at the time of salvation (1 Corinthians 12:4-11);
6. The nobleman is the lord Jesus Christ;
7. The far country is the world;
8. The kingdom is the kingdom of God (church age);
9. The servants are the born again saints that have been given spiritual gifts to use in the church age;
10. The usury are rewards earned by the Christians that put their spiritual gifts into action (James 1:22-25, 2 John 8);
11. The return of the nobleman in verse 15 is the rapture of the church and the Christians will stand before Jesus to give an account at judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10 and Romans 14:10) of their faithful works in the kingdom of God, according to their obedience to the holy scriptures (1 Corinthians 3:11-15);
12. The judgment seat of Christ takes place during the tribulation period while the wrath of God is being poured out upon earth found in the book of Revelation chapters 4 to 19.

 


James Ryan's Luke Chapter 19 comment on 1/21/2013, 8:16am...

In relation to verse 2, I am concerned at the use of the word “which”; it would have been preferable if the translator had used the word “who”.

 


John Pham's Luke Chapter 19 comment on 11/18/2012, 11:57pm...

My mother said: "You are tall enough in God's eyes if your feet reach the ground!" She also said that "Zacchaeus" was a hard name to spell. I think she was right in both cases.

 


Gerald Wilson's Luke Chapter 19 comment about verse 23 on 1/16/2012, 11:30pm...

The debate seems to be about usury. Why Jesus would mention something with favor that the Bible speaks against. But if we take a deeper look, we understand it is not the usury, but the greed that motivated usury. In the case Jesus spake of, we find it was not greed, but respect of the Nobleman that would have motivated the servant to the act of usury. I myself think that all usury is not wrong, only that which is deceitful, begotten by extortion. One more thought, if usury is wrong, and both parties make an agreement that involves usury, then both are guilty, the lender, and the borrower. So in closing, I feel that as the secrets of the heart are known of God, the reason you lend for usury must be taken into consideration when judgment is passed. Let God do the judging, and let Him teach each individual. Another question I might ask, We know that in Business usury is a part of the gain. So is all Businesses wrong? Thanks for hearing me out. I'll close this book, and maybe the thoughts will help someone sort out their thoughts. God Bless us all with His understanding on this subject. Pastor Gerald

 


Debra Webb's Luke Chapter 19 comment on 10/18/2011, 7:19am...

i think that this chapter teaches about recieving and giving. You can't take what God has given you and hide it . If you share and work with what he has given you your blessings will be multiplied. Don't ever think that you don't have enough to share because little becomes much when you place it in his hands(in other words when you share,what have you will see the hand of God work in your life.When Zaccheus became enlighten he was willing to give back that which he had taken falsly,not only give back but multiply tahat which he had taken wrongfully.

 


JEMIMAH MWENDWA's Luke Chapter 19 comment on 6/13/2011, 5:13am...

We should know that God did not come for righteous one but he came to save that was lost.

 


The Word's Luke Chapter 19 comment about verse 23 on 5/09/2010, 2:05am...

Many have assumed this parable to mean usury and banking are biblical, but they are not. This is why he spoke in parables, to separate the wheat from the chaff.He is speaking so the unlearned can relate in their world. For the word says you cannot serve God and Money, for you will hate one and love the other. This verse is a confirmation of God's kindom and the kingdom of the world. The world requires usury, but not God.

 


Anonymous's Luke Chapter 19 comment about verse 13 on 1/15/2010, 1:46pm...

This verse of the parable teaches us that we must strengthen and multiply the grace we have been given so that we may be saved and help save others from eternal death when Our lord comes. Jesus has paid a price for us ( his saints) and has taken us out of the world of sin and we must stay where he has placed us ( in his Grace) busying ourselves with the affairs of our salvation.
