Jesus and Zacchaeus (Numbers 5:5–10)
1 CPDV And having entered, he walked through Jericho. BSB BSB: Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 CPDV And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy. BSB BSB: And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.
3 CPDV And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature. BSB BSB: He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.
4 CPDV And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there. BSB BSB: So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.
5 CPDV And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.” BSB BSB: When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”
6 CPDV And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully. BSB BSB: So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.
7 CPDV And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man. BSB BSB: And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”
8 CPDV But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.” BSB BSB: But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”
9 CPDV Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham. BSB BSB: Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.
10 CPDV For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.” BSB BSB: For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
The Parable of the Ten Minas (Matthew 25:14–30)
11 CPDV As they were listening to these things, continuing on, he spoke a parable, because he was nearing Jerusalem, and because they guessed that the kingdom of God might be manifested without delay. BSB BSB: While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.
12 CPDV Therefore, he said: “A certain man of nobility traveled to a far away region, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. BSB BSB: So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.
13 CPDV And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and he said to them: ‘Do business until I return.’ BSB BSB: Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.
14 CPDV But his citizens hated him. And so they sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this one to reign over us.’ BSB BSB: But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’
15 CPDV And it happened that he returned, having received the kingdom. And he ordered the servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called so that he would know how much each one had earned by doing business. BSB BSB: When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.
16 CPDV Now the first approached, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned ten pounds.’ BSB BSB: The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’
17 CPDV And he said to him: ‘Well done, good servant. Since you have been faithful in a small matter, you will hold authority over ten cities.’ BSB BSB: His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18 CPDV And the second came, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned five pounds.’ BSB BSB: The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’
19 CPDV And he said to him, ‘And so, you shall be over five cities.’ BSB BSB: And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’
20 CPDV And another approached, saying: ‘Lord, behold your one pound, which I kept stored in a cloth. BSB BSB: Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.
21 CPDV For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.’ BSB BSB: For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’
22 CPDV He said to him: ‘By your own mouth, do I judge you, O wicked servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow. BSB BSB: His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
23 CPDV And so, why did you not give my money to the bank, so that, upon my return, I might have withdrawn it with interest?’ BSB BSB: Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’
24 CPDV And he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the pound away from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.’ BSB BSB: Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25 CPDV And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds.’ BSB BSB: ‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26 CPDV So then, I say to you, that to all who have, it shall be given, and he will have in abundance. And from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. BSB BSB: He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
27 CPDV ‘Yet truly, as for those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and put them to death before me.’ ” BSB BSB: And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
The Triumphal Entry (Zechariah 9:9–13; Matthew 21:1–11; Mark 11:1–11; John 12:12–19)
28 CPDV And having said these things, he went ahead, ascending to Jerusalem. BSB BSB: After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 CPDV And it happened that, when he had drawn near to Bethphage and Bethania, to the mount which is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, BSB BSB: As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,
30 CPDV saying: “Go into the town which is opposite you. Upon entering it, you will find the colt of a donkey, tied, on which no man has ever sat. Untie it, and lead it here. BSB BSB: saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
31 CPDV And if anyone will ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this to him: ‘Because the Lord has requested its service.’ ” BSB BSB: If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 CPDV And those who were sent went out, and they found the colt standing, just as he told them. BSB BSB: So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.
33 CPDV Then, as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” BSB BSB: As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 CPDV So they said, “Because the Lord has need of it.” BSB BSB: “The Lord needs it,” they answered.
35 CPDV And they led it to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they helped Jesus onto it. BSB BSB: Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.
36 CPDV Then, as he was traveling, they were laying down their garments along the way. BSB BSB: As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.
37 CPDV And when he was now drawing near to the descent of Mount Olivet, the entire crowd of his disciples began to praise God joyfully, with a loud voice, over all the powerful works which they had seen, BSB BSB: And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:
38 CPDV saying: “Blessed is the king who has arrived in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high!” BSB BSB: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 CPDV And certain Pharisees within the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” BSB BSB: But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”
40 CPDV And he said to them, “I tell you, that if these will keep silent, the stones themselves will cry out.” BSB BSB: “I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem (Isaiah 29:1–16)
41 CPDV And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying: BSB BSB: As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it
42 CPDV “If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes. BSB BSB: and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 CPDV For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side. BSB BSB: For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.
44 CPDV And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.” BSB BSB: They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”

45 CPDV And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold in it, and those who bought, BSB BSB: Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.
46 CPDV saying to them: “It is written: ‘My house is a house of prayer.’ But you have made it into a den of robbers.” BSB BSB: He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
47 CPDV And he was teaching in the temple daily. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the leaders of the people were seeking to destroy him. BSB BSB: Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.
48 CPDV But they could not find what to do to him. For all the people were listening to him attentively. BSB BSB: Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
