⥃Jesus and Zacchaeus ^{[ Numbers 5:5–10 ]}

[1] And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho². [2] And, behold, [there was] a man named Zaccheus, which was the chief³ among the publicans, and he⁴ was rich. [3] And he sought⁵ to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because⁶ he was little of stature. [4] And he ran before, and climbed⁷ up into a sycomore⁸ tree to see him: for he was to pass that [way]. [5] And when Jesus came to the place, he looked⁹ up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zaccheus¹⁰, make haste, and come down; for¹¹ to day I must abide at thy house. [6] And he¹² made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully¹³. [7] And when they saw [it], they all¹⁴ murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. [8] And Zaccheus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold¹⁵, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false¹⁶ accusation, I restore¹⁷ [him] fourfold. [9] And Jesus said unto him¹⁸, This day¹⁹ is salvation come to this house, forsomuch²⁰ as he also is a son of Abraham. [10] For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.²¹

⥃The Parable of the Ten Minas ^{[ Matthew 25:14–30 ]}

[11] And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought²² that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. [12] He said therefore, A certain²³ nobleman went into a far²⁴ country to²⁵ receive for himself a kingdom, and²⁶ to return. [13] And he called his²⁷ ten servants, and delivered²⁸ them ten pounds²⁹, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. [14] But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.³⁰ [15] And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having³¹ received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money³², that he³³ might know how much every man had gained by trading. [16] Then came the first, saying, Lord³⁴, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. [17] And he said unto him, Well³⁵, thou good servant: because thou hast been³⁶ faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. [18] And the second came, saying, Lord, thy³⁷ pound hath gained five pounds. [19] And he said likewise to him, Be³⁸ thou also over five cities. [20] And another came, saying, Lord³⁹, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: [21] For I feared⁴⁰ thee, because⁴¹ thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. [22] And he saith unto him, Out⁴² of thine own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest⁴³ that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: [23] Wherefore⁴⁴ then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury⁴⁵? [24] And he said unto them that stood by, Take⁴⁶ from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds. [25] (And they said unto him, Lord⁴⁷, he hath ten pounds.) [26] For I say unto you, That unto⁴⁸ every one which hath shall be given; and from⁴⁹ him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. [27] But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.⁵⁰

⥃The Triumphal Entry ^{[ Zechariah 9:9–13 † Matthew 21:1–11 † Mark 11:1–11 † John 12:12–19 ]}

[28] And when he had thus spoken, he went⁵¹ before, ascending up to Jerusalem. [29] And it came to pass, when⁵² he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany⁵³, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, [30] 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].⁵⁴ [31] And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord⁵⁵ hath need of him. [32] And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. [33] And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? [34] And they said, The Lord hath need of him.⁵⁶ [35] And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast⁵⁷ their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. [36] And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.⁵⁸ [37] And when he was come nigh, even now at⁵⁹ the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole⁶⁰ multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; [38] Saying, Blessed⁶¹ [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace⁶² in heaven, and glory⁶³ in the highest. [39] And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke⁶⁴ thy disciples. [40] And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.⁶⁵

⥃Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem ^{[ Isaiah 29:1–16 ]}

[41] And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept⁶⁶ over it, [42] Saying, If⁶⁷ thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this⁶⁸ thy day, the things⁶⁹ [which belong] unto thy peace! but⁷⁰ now they are hid from thine eyes. [43] For the days⁷¹ shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast⁷² a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, [44] And shall lay⁷³ thee even with the ground, and thy children⁷⁴ within thee; and they shall not leave⁷⁵ in thee one stone upon another; because⁷⁶ thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

⥃Jesus Cleanses the Temple ^{[ Matthew 21:12–17 † Mark 11:15–19 † John 2:12–25 ]}

[45] And he went⁷⁷ into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold⁷⁸ therein, and them that bought; [46] Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.⁷⁹ [47] And he taught⁸⁰ daily in the temple. But the chief priests⁸¹ and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, [48] And could⁸² not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him⁸³.
