Luke 19:3–11

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
And Zacchæus 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.
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
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.

    9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

    10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

    11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

    12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

    13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

    14And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

19:11And 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.

Selected passage

19:12He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

19:13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

19:14But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

19:15And 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.

19:16Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

19:17And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

19:18And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

19:19And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

19:20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

19:21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

19:22And 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:

19:23Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

19:24And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

19:25(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

19:26For 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.

19:27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
