Gospel of Luke_Chapter 19

When Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through the scriptures,

There was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector and a wealthy man.

He wants to see what kind of person Jesus is. Due to the large number of people and his short stature, he cannot be seen.

He ran to the front and climbed up the mulberry tree to see Jesus, because Jesus would pass by there.

When Jesus arrived there, he looked up and said to him, Sachaeus, come down quickly. Today, I will stay in your house.

He quickly came down and welcomed Jesus with joy and joy.

And when they saw it, they all murmured privately, saying, He went to the house of a sinner to stay.

Zachariah stood and said to the Lord, Lord, I give half of everything to the poor. If I blackmail someone, I will repay them four times.

Jesus said, Today salvation has come to this house, because he is also a descendant of Abraham.

The Son of Man has come to seek and save the lost.

As the crowd was hearing these words, Jesus made another parable because he was approaching Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God was about to be revealed,

There is a nobleman who is going far away to return to his country.

So he called his ten servants and handed them ten minas of silver, saying, Go and do business until I come back.

But his own people hated him and sent messengers afterwards, saying, We do not want this person to be our king.

When he returned from the kingdom, he ordered the servant who received the silver to come and know how much they had earned in their business.

The first one said, Lord, you have earned ten ingots of silver.

The master said, A good servant. You have loyalty in the smallest matters and have the authority to govern ten cities.

Secondly, Lord, you have earned five ingots of silver from one ingot.

The master said, you can also manage five cities.

Another said, Lord, see, here is your ingot of silver, I have wrapped it in a handkerchief and kept it.

I was originally afraid of you because you are a strict person. You have to go and collect what you haven’t put down, and you have to collect what you haven’t planted.

The master said to him, “You wicked servant, I will condemn you by your mouth.”. You know that I am a strict person. I have to take what I haven’t let go and collect what I haven’t planted.

Why don’t you give my money to the bank so that when I come, I can even get back the principal and interest?

He said to the person standing next to him, take his one ingot and give it to the one with ten.

They said, Lord, he already has ten ingots.

The master said, I tell you, whoever has it will also be given to him. Nothing, even what he has, must be taken away.

As for my enemies who do not want me to be their king, bring them here and kill them before me.

After Jesus had finished speaking these words, he walked ahead and went up to Jerusalem.

Near the mountains of Berphach and Bethany, there is a mountain called Mount Olive. And he sent two disciples, saying,

You go to the opposite village. When you enter, you will see a donkey foal tied there, which has never been ridden before. You can untie the pull.

If someone asks why to solve it, you can say that it is mainly used.

And when the messengers went, they found what Jesus had said.

When they were untiing the donkey foal, the owner asked them, “What is the purpose of untiing the donkey foal?”?

They said they mainly use it.

They led them to Jesus, draped their clothes over it, and helped Jesus ride on it.

As they left, everyone spread their clothes on the road.

As they approached Jerusalem and were descending from the Mount of Olives, all the disciples rejoiced in all the miracles they had seen, praising God with a loud voice,

Praise be to the king who comes in the name of the Lord. There is peace in heaven, and glory in the highest places.

Some of the Pharisees among the crowd said to Jesus, Master, rebuke your disciples.

Jesus said, I tell you, if they keep silent, these stones will surely cry out.

As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept for him,

I wish you knew on this day what concerns your peace. Unfortunately, this matter is now hidden, so that your eyes cannot see it.

For the days are coming, and your enemies will build a fortress around you, trapping you on all sides,

And I will sweep you and your children inside, leaving not a single stone on them. Because you don’t know when to take care of you.

Jesus entered the temple and drove out the merchants inside,

And he said to them, The scripture says, My temple shall be a house of prayer. You have turned it into a den of thieves.

Jesus teaches in the temple every day. The chief priests, scribes, and the elders of the people all wanted to kill him.

But he couldn’t find a way, because the people listened attentively to him.
