¹And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.13 sermons²And, behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.15 sermons³And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.14 sermons⁴And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.15 sermons⁵And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.17 sermons⁶And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.14 sermons⁷And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.13 sermons⁸And Zaccheus 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.15 sermons⁹And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.14 sermons¹⁰For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.34 sermons¹¹And 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.9 sermons¹²He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.9 sermons¹³And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.13 sermons¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.11 sermons¹⁵And 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.9 sermons¹⁶Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.9 sermons¹⁷And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.9 sermons¹⁸And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.9 sermons¹⁹And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.9 sermons²⁰And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:9 sermons²¹For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.9 sermons²²And 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:9 sermons²³Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?9 sermons²⁴And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.9 sermons²⁵(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)9 sermons²⁶For 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.9 sermons²⁷But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.9 sermons²⁸And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.10 sermons²⁹And 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,10 sermons³⁰Saying, 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.12 sermons³¹And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.11 sermons³²And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.12 sermons³³And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?12 sermons³⁴And they said, The Lord hath need of him.13 sermons³⁵And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.11 sermons³⁶And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.11 sermons³⁷And 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;12 sermons³⁸Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.12 sermons³⁹And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.12 sermons⁴⁰And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.13 sermons⁴¹And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,15 sermons⁴²Saying, 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.13 sermons⁴³For 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,13 sermons⁴⁴And 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.14 sermons⁴⁵And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;10 sermons⁴⁶Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.9 sermons⁴⁷And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,11 sermons⁴⁸And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.9 sermons
