40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he
asked him,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my
sight.
42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people,
when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
1 And Jesusentered and passed through Jericho.
2 And, behold, there wasa man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and
he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of
stature.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that
way.
5 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.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
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 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 himfourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch 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.
11 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.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a
kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, 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.
15 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.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very
little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here isthy pound, which I have kept laid up in a
napkin:
21 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.
22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thouwicked servant. Thou
knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not
sow:
23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have
required mine own with usury?

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give itto him that hath
ten pounds.
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 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.
27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and
slay thembefore me.
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called
the mountof 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.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord
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.
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set
Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 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;
38 Saying, Blessed bethe King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory
in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke 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.
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belongunto
thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 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,
44 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.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold 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.
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the
people sought to destroy him,
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
1 And it came to pass, thaton one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and
preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon himwith the elders,
2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he
that gave thee this authority?
3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why
then believed ye him not?
6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a
prophet.
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
9 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.
10 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 himaway empty.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated himshamefully,
and sent himaway empty.
12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast himout.
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be
they will reverence himwhen they see him.
14 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.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the
vineyard do unto them?
16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And
when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
17 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?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder.
19 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.
20 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.
21 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:
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said,
Caesar's.
25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto
God the things which be God's.
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his
answer, and held their peace.
27 Then came to himcertain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and
they asked him,
28 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.
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
