And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it, And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth, And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today. 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.

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 him fourfold.
And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham. 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 came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

The story of the nobleman and his servants

And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away. 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.
So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done. 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.

Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed. 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.
He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed; And 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:
Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest? Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

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.
