WEB·Luke 20

¹On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that on^G1722 one^G3391 of those^G1565 days^G2250, as he^G846 taught^G1321^(G5723) the people^G2992 in^G1722 the temple^G2411, and^G2532 preached the gospel^G2097^(G5734), the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the scribes^G1122 came upon^G2186^(G5627) him with^G4862 the elders^G4245,

² They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”

KJVAnd^G2532 spake^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Tell^G2036^(G5628) us^G2254, by^G1722 what^G4169 authority^G1849 doest thou^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5023? or^G2228 who^G5101 is he^G2076^(G5748) that gave^G1325^(G5631) thee^G4671 this^G5026 authority^G1849?

³ He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:

KJVAnd^G1161 he answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, I^G2504 will^G2065 also^G2504 ask^G2065^(G5692) you^G5209 one^G1520 thing^G3056; and^G2532 answer^G2036^(G5628) me^G3427:

⁴ the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”

KJVThe baptism^G908 of John^G2491, was it^G2258^(G5713) from^G1537 heaven^G3772, or^G2228 of^G1537 men^G444?

⁵ They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

KJVAnd^G1161 they reasoned^G4817^(G5662) with^G4314 themselves^G1438, saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 If^G1437 we shall say^G2036^(G5632), From^G1537 heaven^G3772; he will say^G2046^(G5692), Why^G1302 then^G3767 believed ye^G4100^(G5656) him^G846 not^G3756?

⁶ But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”

KJVBut and^G1161 if^G1437 we say^G2036^(G5632), Of^G1537 men^G444; all^G3956 the people^G2992 will stone^G2642^(G5692) us^G2248: for^G1063 they be^G2076^(G5748) persuaded^G3982^(G5772) that John^G2491 was^G1511^(G5750) a prophet^G4396.

⁷ They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.

KJVAnd^G2532 they answered^G611^(G5662), that they could^G1492 not^G3361 tell^G1492^(G5760) whence^G4159 it was.

⁸ Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Neither^G3761 tell^G3004^(G5719) I^G1473 you^G5213 by^G1722 what^G4169 authority^G1849 I do^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5023.

⁹ He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

KJVThen^G1161 began he^G756^(G5662) to speak^G3004^(G5721) to^G4314 the people^G2992 this^G5026 parable^G3850; A certain^G5100 man^G444 planted^G5452^(G5656) a vineyard^G290, and^G2532 let^G1554 it^G846 forth^G1554^(G5639) to husbandmen^G1092, and^G2532 went into a far country^G589^(G5656) for a long^G2425 time^G5550.

¹⁰ At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.

KJVAnd^G2532 at^G1722 the season^G2540 he sent^G649^(G5656) a servant^G1401 to^G4314 the husbandmen^G1092, that^G2443 they should give^G1325^(G5632) him^G846 of^G575 the fruit^G2590 of the vineyard^G290: but^G1161 the husbandmen^G1092 beat^G1194^(G5660) him^G846, and sent him away^G1821^(G5656) empty^G2756.

¹¹ He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G4369^(G5639) he sent^G3992^(G5658) another^G2087 servant^G1401: and^G1161 they beat^G1194^(G5660) him also^G2548, and^G2532 entreated him shamefully^G818^(G5660), and sent him away^G1821^(G5656) empty^G2756.

¹² He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G4369^(G5639) he sent^G3992^(G5658) a third^G5154: and^G1161 they wounded^G5135^(G5660) him^G5126 also^G2532, and cast him out^G1544^(G5627).

¹³ The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’

KJVThen^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) the lord^G2962 of the vineyard^G290, What^G5101 shall I do^G4160^(G5661)? I will send^G3992^(G5692) my^G3450 beloved^G27 son^G5207: it may be^G2481 they will reverence^G1788^(G5691) him when they see^G1492^(G5631) him^G5126.

¹⁴ “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’

KJVBut^G1161 when the husbandmen^G1092 saw^G1492^(G5631) him^G846, they reasoned^G1260^(G5711) among^G4314 themselves^G1438, saying^G3004^(G5723), This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the heir^G2818: come^G1205^(G5773), let us kill^G615^(G5725) him^G846, that^G2443 the inheritance^G2817 may be^G1096^(G5638) ours^G2257.

¹⁵ Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

KJVSo^G2532 they cast^G1544^(G5631) him^G846 out of^G1854 the vineyard^G290, and killed^G615^(G5656) him. What^G5101 therefore^G3767 shall^G4160 the lord^G2962 of the vineyard^G290 do^G4160^(G5692) unto them^G846?

¹⁶ He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”

KJVHe shall come^G2064^(G5695) and^G2532 destroy^G622^(G5692) these^G5128 husbandmen^G1092, and^G2532 shall give^G1325^(G5692) the vineyard^G290 to others^G243. And^G1161 when they heard^G191^(G5660) it, they said^G2036^(G5627), God forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636).

¹⁷ But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?

KJVAnd^G1161 he beheld^G1689^(G5660) them^G846, and said^G2036^(G5627), What^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) this^G5124 then^G3767 that is written^G1125^(G5772), The stone^G3037 which^G3739 the builders^G3618^(G5723) rejected^G593^(G5656), the same^G3778 is become^G1096^(G5675) the head^G2776 of^G1519 the corner^G1137?

¹⁸ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”

KJVWhosoever^G3956 shall fall^G4098^(G5631) upon^G1909 that^G1565 stone^G3037 shall be broken^G4917^(G5701); but^G1161 on^G1909 whomsoever^G3739^G302 it shall fall^G4098^(G5632), it will grind^G3039 him^G846 to powder^G3039^(G5692).

¹⁹ The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

KJVAnd^G2532 the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the scribes^G1122 the same^G1722^G846 hour^G5610 sought^G2212^(G5656) to lay^G1911^(G5629) hands^G5495 on^G1909 him^G846; and^G2532 they feared^G5399^(G5675) the people^G2992: for^G1063 they perceived^G1097^(G5627) that^G3754 he had spoken^G2036^(G5627) this^G5026 parable^G3850 against^G4314 them^G846.

²⁰ They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

KJVAnd^G2532 they watched^G3906^(G5660) him, and sent forth^G649^(G5656) spies^G1455, which should feign^G5271^(G5740)^G1511^(G5750) themselves^G1438 just men^G1342, that^G2443 they might take hold^G1949^(G5638) of his^G846 words^G3056, that so^G1519 they might deliver^G3860^(G5629) him^G846 unto the power^G746 and^G2532 authority^G1849 of the governor^G2232.

²¹ They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

KJVAnd^G2532 they asked^G1905^(G5656) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G1320, we know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 thou sayest^G3004^(G5719) and^G2532 teachest^G1321^(G5719) rightly^G3723,^G2532 neither^G3756 acceptest thou^G2983^(G5719) the person^G4383 of any, but^G235 teachest^G1321^(G5719) the way^G3598 of God^G2316 truly^G225^G1909:

²² Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

KJVIs it lawful^G1832^(G5748) for us^G2254 to give^G1325^(G5629) tribute^G5411 unto Caesar^G2541, or^G2228 no^G3756?

²³ But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?

KJVBut^G1161 he perceived^G2657^(G5660) their^G846 craftiness^G3834, and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Why^G5101 tempt ye^G3985^(G5719) me^G3165?

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

KJVShew^G1925^(G5657) me^G3427 a penny^G1220. Whose^G5101 image^G1504 and^G2532 superscription^G1923 hath it^G2192^(G5719)? They answered^G611^(G5679) and^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627), Caesar's^G2541.

²⁵ He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Render^G591^(G5628) therefore^G5106 unto Caesar^G2541 the things which be^G3588 Caesar's^G2541, and^G2532 unto God^G2316 the things which be^G3588 God's^G2316.

²⁶ They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.

KJVAnd^G2532 they could^G2480^(G5656) not^G3756 take hold^G1949^(G5635) of his^G846 words^G4487 before^G1726 the people^G2992: and^G2532 they marvelled^G2296^(G5660) at^G1909 his^G846 answer^G612, and held their peace^G4601^(G5656).

²⁷ Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

KJVThen^G1161 came^G4334^(G5631) to him certain^G5100 of the Sadducees^G4523, which^G3588 deny^G483^(G5723) that there is^G1511^(G5750) any^G3361 resurrection^G386; and they asked^G1905^(G5656) him^G846,

²⁸ They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G1320, Moses^G3475 wrote^G1125^(G5656) unto us^G2254, If^G1437 any man's^G5100 brother^G80 die^G599^(G5632), having^G2192^(G5723) a wife^G1135, and^G2532 he^G3778 die^G599^(G5632) without children^G815, that^G2443 his^G846 brother^G80 should take^G2983^(G5632) his wife^G1135, and^G2532 raise up^G1817^(G5661) seed^G4690 unto his^G846 brother^G80.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

KJVThere were^G2258^(G5713) therefore^G3767 seven^G2033 brethren^G80: and^G2532 the first^G4413 took^G2983^(G5631) a wife^G1135, and died^G599^(G5627) without children^G815.

³⁰ The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

KJVAnd^G2532 the second^G1208 took^G2983^(G5627) her to wife^G1135, and^G2532 he^G3778 died^G599^(G5627) childless^G815.

³¹ The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.

KJVAnd^G2532 the third^G5154 took^G2983^(G5627) her^G846; and^G1161 in like manner^G5615 the seven^G2033 also^G2532: and they left^G2641^(G5627) no^G3756 children^G5043, and^G2532 died^G599^(G5627).

³² Afterward the woman also died.

KJV^G1161 Last^G5305 of all^G3956 the woman^G1135 died^G599^(G5627) also^G2532.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

KJVTherefore^G3767 in^G1722 the resurrection^G386 whose^G5101 wife^G1135 of them^G846 is she^G1096^(G5736)? for^G1063 seven^G2033 had^G2192^(G5627) her^G846 to wife^G1135.

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, The children^G5207 of this^G5127 world^G165 marry^G1060^(G5719), and^G2532 are given in marriage^G1548^(G5743):

³⁵ But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

KJVBut^G1161 they which shall be accounted worthy^G2661^(G5685) to obtain^G5177^(G5629) that^G1565 world^G165, and^G2532 the resurrection^G386 from^G1537 the dead^G3498, neither^G3777 marry^G1060^(G5719), nor^G3777 are given in marriage^G1548^(G5743):

³⁶ For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

KJVNeither^G3777^G1063 can^G1410^(G5736) they die^G599^(G5629) any more^G2089: for^G1063 they are^G1526^(G5748) equal unto the angels^G2465; and^G2532 are^G1526^(G5748) the children^G5207 of God^G2316, being^G5607^(G5752) the children^G5207 of the resurrection^G386.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

KJVNow^G1161 that^G3754 the dead^G3498 are raised^G1453^(G5743), even^G2532 Moses^G3475 shewed^G3377^(G5656) at^G1909 the bush^G942, when^G5613 he calleth^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962 the God^G2316 of Abraham^G11, and^G2532 the God^G2316 of Isaac^G2464, and^G2532 the God^G2316 of Jacob^G2384.

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”

KJVFor^G1161 he is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 a God^G2316 of the dead^G3498, but^G235 of the living^G2198^(G5723): for^G1063 all^G3956 live^G2198^(G5719) unto him^G846.

³⁹ Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”

KJVThen^G1161 certain^G5100 of the scribes^G1122 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627), Master^G1320, thou hast well^G2573 said^G2036^(G5627).

⁴⁰ They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

KJVAnd^G1161 after that^G3765 they durst^G5111^(G5707) not^G3765 ask^G1905^(G5721) him^G846 any^G3762 question at all.

⁴¹ He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, How^G4459 say^G3004^(G5719) they that Christ^G5547 is^G1511^(G5750) David's^G1138 son^G5207?

⁴² David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

KJVAnd^G2532 David^G1138 himself^G846 saith^G3004^(G5719) in^G1722 the book^G976 of Psalms^G5568, The LORD^G2962 said^G2036^(G5627) unto my^G3450 Lord^G2962, Sit thou^G2521^(G5737) on^G1537 my^G3450 right hand^G1188,

⁴³ until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

KJVTill^G2193^G302 I make^G5087^(G5632) thine^G4675 enemies^G2190 thy^G4675 footstool^G4228^G5286.

⁴⁴ “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

KJVDavid^G1138 therefore^G3767 calleth^G2564^(G5719) him^G846 Lord^G2962, how^G4459 is he^G2076^(G5748) then^G2532 his^G846 son^G5207?

⁴⁵ In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

KJVThen^G1161 in the audience^G191^(G5723) of all^G3956 the people^G2992 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto his^G846 disciples^G3101,

⁴⁶ “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;

KJVBeware^G4337^(G5720) of^G575 the scribes^G1122, which^G3588 desire^G2309^(G5723) to walk^G4043^(G5721) in^G1722 long robes^G4749, and^G2532 love^G5368^(G5723) greetings^G783 in^G1722 the markets^G58, and^G2532 the highest seats^G4410 in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864, and^G2532 the chief rooms^G4411 at^G1722 feasts^G1173;

⁴⁷ who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

KJVWhich^G3739 devour^G2719^(G5719) widows^G5503' houses^G3614, and^G2532 for a shew^G4392 make^G4336 long^G3117 prayers^G4336^(G5736): the same^G3778 shall receive^G2983^(G5695) greater^G4055 damnation^G2917.

¹He entered and was passing through Jericho.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus entered^G1525^(G5631) and passed through^G1330^(G5711) Jericho^G2410.

² There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), there was a man^G435 named^G3686^G2564^(G5746) Zacchaeus^G2195, which^G2532^G846 was^G2258^(G5713) the chief among the publicans^G754, and^G2532 he^G3778 was^G2258^(G5713) rich^G4145.

³ He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.

KJVAnd^G2532 he sought^G2212^(G5707) to see^G1492^(G5629) Jesus^G2424 who^G5101 he was^G2076^(G5748); and^G2532 could^G1410^(G5711) not^G3756 for^G575 the press^G3793, because^G3754 he was^G2258^(G5713) little^G3398 of stature^G2244.

⁴ He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.

KJVAnd^G2532 he ran^G4390^(G5631) before^G1715, and climbed up^G305^(G5627) into^G1909 a sycomore tree^G4809 to^G2443 see^G1492^(G5632) him^G846: for^G3754 he was^G3195^(G5707) to pass^G1330^(G5738)^G1223 that^G1565 way.

⁵ When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G5613 Jesus^G2424 came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1909 the place^G5117, he looked up^G308^(G5660), and saw^G1492^(G5627) him^G846, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, Zacchaeus^G2195, make haste^G4692^(G5660), and come down^G2597^(G5628); for^G1063 to day^G4594 I^G3165 must^G1163^(G5748) abide^G3306^(G5658) at^G1722 thy^G4675 house^G3624.

⁶ He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.

KJVAnd^G2532 he made haste^G4692^(G5660), and came down^G2597^(G5627), and^G2532 received^G5264^(G5662) him^G846 joyfully^G5463^(G5723).

⁷ When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”

KJVAnd^G2532 when they saw^G1492^(G5631) it, they^G1234 all^G537 murmured^G1234^(G5707), saying^G3004^(G5723), That^G3754 he was gone^G1525^(G5627) to be guest^G2647^(G5658) with^G3844 a man^G435 that is a sinner^G268.

⁸ Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Zacchaeus^G2195 stood^G2476^(G5685), and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 the Lord^G2962; Behold^G2400^(G5628), Lord^G2962, the half^G2255 of my^G3450 goods^G5224^(G5723) I give^G1325^(G5719) to the poor^G4434; and^G2532 if^G1536 I have taken^G4811 any thing^G1536 from any man^G5100 by false accusation^G4811^(G5656), I restore^G591^(G5719) him fourfold^G5073.

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846,^G3754 This day^G4594 is^G1096 salvation^G4991 come^G1096^(G5633) to this^G5129 house^G3624, forsomuch as^G2530 he^G846 also^G2532 is^G2076^(G5748) a son^G5207 of Abraham^G11.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

KJVFor^G1063 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 is come^G2064^(G5627) to seek^G2212^(G5658) and^G2532 to save^G4982^(G5658) that which was lost^G622^(G5756).

¹¹ As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.

KJVAnd^G1161 as they^G846 heard^G191^(G5723) these things^G5023, he added^G4369^(G5631) and spake^G2036^(G5627) a parable^G3850, because^G1223 he^G846 was^G1511^(G5750) nigh^G1451 to Jerusalem^G2419, and^G2532 because they^G846 thought^G1380^(G5721) that^G3754 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 should^G3195^(G5719) immediately^G3916 appear^G398^(G5745).

¹² He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

KJVHe said^G2036^(G5627) therefore^G3767, A certain^G5100 nobleman^G444^G2104 went^G4198^(G5675) into^G1519 a far^G3117 country^G5561 to receive^G2983^(G5629) for himself^G1438 a kingdom^G932, and^G2532 to return^G5290^(G5658).

¹³ He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’

KJVAnd^G1161 he called^G2564^(G5660) his^G1438 ten^G1176 servants^G1401, and delivered^G1325^(G5656) them^G846 ten^G1176 pounds^G3414, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Occupy^G4231^(G5663) till^G2193 I come^G2064^(G5736).

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’

KJVBut^G1161 his^G846 citizens^G4177 hated^G3404^(G5707) him^G846, and^G2532 sent^G649^(G5656) a message^G4242 after^G3694 him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), We will^G2309 not^G3756 have^G2309^(G5719) this^G5126 man to reign^G936^(G5658) over^G1909 us^G2248.

¹⁵ “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that when^G1722 he^G846 was returned^G1880^(G5629), having received^G2983^(G5631) the kingdom^G932, then^G2532 he commanded^G2036^(G5627) these^G5128 servants^G1401 to be called^G5455^(G5683) unto him^G846, to whom^G3739 he had given^G1325^(G5656) the money^G694, that^G2443 he might know^G1097^(G5632) how much^G5101 every man^G5101 had gained by trading^G1281^(G5662).

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’

KJVThen^G1161 came^G3854^(G5633) the first^G4413, saying^G3004^(G5723), Lord^G2962, thy^G4675 pound^G3414 hath gained^G4333^(G5662) ten^G1176 pounds^G3414.

¹⁷ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Well^G2095, thou good^G18 servant^G1401: because^G3754 thou hast been^G1096^(G5633) faithful^G4103 in^G1722 a very little^G1646, have^G2192^(G5723) thou authority^G2468^(G5749)^G1849 over^G1883 ten^G1176 cities^G4172.

¹⁸ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’

KJVAnd^G2532 the second^G1208 came^G2064^(G5627), saying^G3004^(G5723), Lord^G2962, thy^G4675 pound^G3414 hath gained^G4160^(G5656) five^G4002 pounds^G3414.

¹⁹ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) likewise^G2532 to him^G5129, Be^G1096^(G5737) thou^G4771 also^G2532 over^G1883 five^G4002 cities^G4172.

²⁰ Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

KJVAnd^G2532 another^G2087 came^G2064^(G5627), saying^G3004^(G5723), Lord^G2962, behold^G2400^(G5628), here is thy^G4675 pound^G3414, which^G3739 I have^G2192^(G5707) kept laid up^G606^(G5740) in^G1722 a napkin^G4676:

²¹ for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’

KJVFor^G1063 I feared^G5399^(G5711) thee^G4571, because^G3754 thou art^G1488^(G5748) an austere^G840 man^G444: thou takest up^G142^(G5719) that^G3739 thou layedst^G5087 not^G3756 down^G5087^(G5656), and^G2532 reapest^G2325^(G5719) that^G3739 thou didst^G4687 not^G3756 sow^G4687^(G5656).

²² “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.

KJVAnd^G1161 he saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Out of^G1537 thine own^G4675 mouth^G4750 will I judge^G2919^(G5692) thee^G4571, thou wicked^G4190 servant^G1401. Thou knewest^G1492^(G5715) that^G3754 I^G1473 was^G1510^(G5748) an austere^G840 man^G444, taking up^G142^(G5723) that^G3739 I laid^G5087 not^G3756 down^G5087^(G5656), and^G2532 reaping^G2325^(G5723) that^G3739 I did^G4687 not^G3756 sow^G4687^(G5656):

²³ Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’

KJVWherefore^G1302 then^G2532 gavest^G1325 not^G3756 thou^G1325^(G5656) my^G3450 money^G694 into^G1909 the bank^G5132, that^G2532 at my coming^G2064^(G5631) I^G1473 might^G302 have required^G4238^(G5656) mine own^G846 with^G4862 usury^G5110?

²⁴ He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them that stood by^G3936^(G5761), Take^G142^(G5657) from^G575 him^G846 the pound^G3414, and^G2532 give^G1325^(G5628) it to him that hath^G2192^(G5723) ten^G1176 pounds^G3414.

²⁵ “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’

KJV(And^G2532 they said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Lord^G2962, he hath^G2192^(G5719) ten^G1176 pounds^G3414.)

²⁶ ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

KJVFor^G1063 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 unto every one^G3956 which^G3588 hath^G2192^(G5723) shall be given^G1325^(G5701); and^G1161 from^G575 him that hath^G2192^(G5723) not^G3361, even^G2532 that^G3739 he hath^G2192^(G5719) shall be taken away^G142^(G5701) from^G575 him^G846.

²⁷ But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”

KJVBut^G4133 those^G1565 mine^G3450 enemies^G2190, which^G3588 would^G2309^(G5660) not^G3361 that I^G3165 should reign^G936^(G5658) over^G1909 them^G846, bring^G71^(G5628) hither^G5602, and^G2532 slay^G2695^(G5657) them before^G1715 me^G3450.

²⁸ Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had thus^G5023 spoken^G2036^(G5631), he went^G4198^(G5711) before^G1715, ascending up^G305^(G5723) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414.

²⁹ When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), when^G5613 he was come nigh^G1448^(G5656) to^G1519 Bethphage^G967 and^G2532 Bethany^G963, at^G4314 the mount^G3735 called^G2564^(G5746) the mount of Olives^G1636, he sent^G649^(G5656) two^G1417 of his^G846 disciples^G3101,

³⁰ saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.

KJVSaying^G2036^(G5631), Go ye^G5217^(G5720) into^G1519 the village^G2968 over against^G2713 you; in^G1722 the which^G3739 at your entering^G1531^(G5740) ye shall find^G2147^(G5692) a colt^G4454 tied^G1210^(G5772), whereon^G1909^G3739 yet never^G3762 man^G444 sat^G2523^(G5656)^G4455: loose^G3089^(G5660) him^G846, and bring^G71^(G5628) him hither.

³¹ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 any man^G5100 ask^G2065^(G5725) you^G5209, Why^G1302 do ye loose^G3089^(G5719) him? thus^G3779 shall ye say^G2046^(G5692) unto him^G846, Because^G3754 the Lord^G2962 hath^G2192^(G5719) need^G5532 of him^G846.

³² Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.

KJVAnd^G1161 they that were sent^G649^(G5772) went their way^G565^(G5631), and found^G2147^(G5627) even as^G2531 he had said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846.

³³ As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

KJVAnd^G1161 as they^G846 were loosing^G3089^(G5723) the colt^G4454, the owners^G2962 thereof^G846 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Why^G5101 loose ye^G3089^(G5719) the colt^G4454?

³⁴ They said, “The Lord needs it.”

KJVAnd^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627), The Lord^G2962 hath^G2192^(G5719) need^G5532 of him^G846.

³⁵ Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.

KJVAnd^G2532 they brought^G71^(G5627) him^G846 to^G4314 Jesus^G2424: and^G2532 they cast^G1977 their^G1438 garments^G2440 upon^G1909^G1977 the colt^G4454, and^G1977^(G5660) they set^G1913 Jesus^G2424 thereon^G1913^(G5656).

³⁶ As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.

KJVAnd^G1161 as he^G846 went^G4198^(G5740), they spread^G5291^(G5707) their^G846 clothes^G2440 in^G1722 the way^G3598.

³⁷ As he was now getting near, 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 which they had seen,

KJVAnd when he^G846 was come nigh^G1448^(G5723), even^G1161 now^G2235 at^G4314 the descent^G2600 of the mount^G3735 of Olives^G1636, the whole^G537 multitude^G4128 of the disciples^G3101 began^G756^(G5662) to rejoice^G5463^(G5723) and praise^G134^(G5721) God^G2316 with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456 for^G4012 all^G3956 the mighty works^G1411 that^G3739 they had seen^G1492^(G5627);

³⁸ saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), Blessed^G2127^(G5772) be the King^G935 that cometh^G2064^(G5740) in^G1722 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962: peace^G1515 in^G1722 heaven^G3772, and^G2532 glory^G1391 in^G1722 the highest^G5310.

³⁹ Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”

KJVAnd^G2532 some^G5100 of the Pharisees^G5330 from^G575 among the multitude^G3793 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, Master^G1320, rebuke^G2008^(G5657) thy^G4675 disciples^G3101.

⁴⁰ He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, I tell^G3004^(G5719) you^G5213 that^G3754, if^G1437 these^G3778 should hold their peace^G4623^(G5661), the stones^G3037 would immediately cry out^G2896^(G5688).

⁴¹ When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G5613 he was come near^G1448^(G5656), he beheld^G1492^(G5631) the city^G4172, and wept^G2799^(G5656) over^G1909 it^G846,

⁴² saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), If^G3754^G1487 thou hadst known^G1097^(G5627), even^G2532 thou^G4771, at least^G2534 in^G1722 this^G5026 thy^G4675 day^G2250, the things^G3588 which belong unto^G4314 thy^G4675 peace^G1515! but^G1161 now^G3568 they are hid^G2928^(G5648) from^G575 thine^G4675 eyes^G3788.

⁴³ For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,

KJVFor^G3754 the days^G2250 shall come^G2240^(G5692) upon^G1909 thee^G4571, that^G2532 thine^G4675 enemies^G2190 shall cast^G4016 a trench^G5482 about^G4016^(G5692) thee^G4671, and^G2532 compass^G4033 thee^G4571 round^G4033^(G5692), and^G2532 keep^G4912 thee^G4571 in^G4912^(G5692) on every side^G3840,

⁴⁴ and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”

KJVAnd^G2532 shall lay^G1474 thee^G4571 even with the ground^G1474^(G5692), and^G2532 thy^G4675 children^G5043 within^G1722 thee^G4671; and^G2532 they shall^G863 not^G3756 leave^G863^(G5692) in^G1722 thee^G4671 one stone^G3037 upon^G1909 another^G3037; because^G473^G3739 thou knewest^G1097^(G5627) not^G3756 the time^G2540 of thy^G4675 visitation^G1984.

⁴⁵ He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

KJVAnd^G2532 he went^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 the temple^G2411, and began^G756^(G5662) to cast out^G1544^(G5721) them that sold^G4453^(G5723) therein^G1722^G846, and^G2532 them that bought^G59^(G5723);

⁴⁶ saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723) unto them^G846, It is written^G1125^(G5769), My^G3450 house^G3624 is^G2076^(G5748) the house^G3624 of prayer^G4335: but^G1161 ye^G5210 have made^G4160^(G5656) it^G846 a den^G4693 of thieves^G3027.

⁴⁷ He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

KJVAnd^G2532 he taught^G2258^(G5713)^G1321^(G5723) daily^G2596^G2250 in^G1722 the temple^G2411. But^G1161 the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the scribes^G1122 and^G2532 the chief^G4413 of the people^G2992 sought^G2212^(G5707) to destroy^G622^(G5658) him^G846,

⁴⁸ They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

KJVAnd^G2532 could^G2147 not^G3756 find^G2147^(G5707) what^G5101 they might do^G4160^(G5661): for^G1063 all^G537 the people^G2992 were very attentive^G1582^(G5710) to hear^G191^(G5723) him^G846.
