mnt - Luke:19-20

mnt@Luke:19:1 @ So he entered Jericho and was passing through the town.

mnt@Luke:19:2 @ There was a man there, called Zaccheus, who was a chief of the tax- gatherers, and was wealthy.

mnt@Luke:19:3 @ And he kept trying to see what sort of a man Jesus was; but he could not see because he was short.

mnt@Luke:19:4 @ So he ran on before him and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him; for he was about to pass that way.

mnt@Luke:19:5 @ As soon as Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Come down quickly, Zaccheus, for today I must stay at your house."

mnt@Luke:19:6 @ He made haste to climb down, and receive him joyfully.

mnt@Luke:19:7 @ When they all saw it, they began to complain, saying "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."

mnt@Luke:19:8 @ But Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord, "I give half my property to the poor, Lord, and if I have defrauded any man of anything I am restoring it to him fourfold."

mnt@Luke:19:9 @ "Today is salvation come to this house," said Jesus "since Zaccheus here is a son of Abraham.

mnt@Luke:19:10 @ "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save the lost."

mnt@Luke:19:11 @ As they were listening to his words he added this parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.

mnt@Luke:19:12 @ So he said. "A certain nobleman went abroad to receive for himself royal power and to return.

mnt@Luke:19:13 @ "And he summoned ten slaves of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, "Trade with these until I come.

mnt@Luke:19:14 @ "But this fellow citizens hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, We do not wish this man to become our king.

mnt@Luke:19:15 @ "And upon his return after he had secured the royal power, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he might know what they had gained by trading.

mnt@Luke:19:16 @ "And the first came before him, saying, Master, your pound has made ten pounds.

mnt@Luke:19:17 @ "And he said to him, Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.

mnt@Luke:19:18 @ "And the second came and said, Master, your pound has made five pounds.

mnt@Luke:19:19 @ "Then he said to him also, You shall be over five cities.

mnt@Luke:19:20 @ "And the next came to him and said, Here master is your pound which I was keeping safe in a napkin.

mnt@Luke:19:21 @ "For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take what you did not sow.

mnt@Luke:19:22 @ "He said to him, "By your own words I will Judge you, you wicked slave. You knew, did you, that I was a hard man taking up what I did not lay down, reaping what I did not sow.

mnt@Luke:19:23 @ "Then why did you not put my money into the bank, so that at my coming I might I might have gotten it back with interest?

mnt@Luke:19:24 @ "Then to those who stood by, he said, Take the pounds from him and give it to him who has ten pounds.

mnt@Luke:19:25 @ "Master, they said to him, he already has ten pounds.

mnt@Luke:19:26 @ "I tell you that to every one who has it shall be given; and from him who has not shall be taken away even what he has.

mnt@Luke:19:27 @ "Howbeit these enemies of mine who were not willing for me to become their King, bring them here, and slay them in my presence."

mnt@Luke:19:28 @ When he had so spoken he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

mnt@Luke:19:29 @ When he was come near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called The Olive Orchard,

mnt@Luke:19:30 @ he sent two of his disciples saying. "Go into the village in the front, and on entering it you will find an asss colt tied, on which no one has ever ridden.

mnt@Luke:19:31 @ "Untie it and bring it here. And if any one asks you, Why are you untying the colt? Simply say, The Master needs it."

mnt@Luke:19:32 @ Then those who were sent out and found it as he had told them.

mnt@Luke:19:33 @ For as they were untying the colt, the owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

mnt@Luke:19:34 @ They answered, "The Master needs it."

mnt@Luke:19:35 @ So they led it to Jesus, and, after throwing their outer garments on the colt, they placed Jesus on it.

mnt@Luke:19:36 @ So he rode on, while they kept throwing their garments in the way.

mnt@Luke:19:37 @ And when now he was coming near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God with a loud voice for the almighty works they had seen.

mnt@Luke:19:38 @ They cried, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven and glory in the Highest"

mnt@Luke:19:39 @ And some of the Pharisees said to them out of the crowd, "Teacher reprove your disciples!"

mnt@Luke:19:40 @ "I tell you," he answered, "that if these should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out."

mnt@Luke:19:41 @ And when he came into view of the city, as he approached it he broke into loud weeping,

mnt@Luke:19:42 @ exclaiming. "Oh that at this time you knew, yes, even you, on what your peace depends! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

mnt@Luke:19:43 @ "The time will come for you when your enemies will throw ramparts around you, and encompass you, and shut you in on every side, and raze you to the ground,

mnt@Luke:19:44 @ "you and your children within you. And they will not leave in you one stone upon the another. Because you knew not the time of your visitation."

mnt@Luke:19:45 @ Then Jesus went into the Temple and began to drive out dealers,

mnt@Luke:19:46 @ saying, "It is written, "The house of God shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."

mnt@Luke:19:47 @ Day after day he continued to teach in the Temple. The high priests and scribes tried to have him put to death, so did the rulers of the people.

mnt@Luke:19:48 @ But they could not find how to do it, for the people all hung upon him, listening to him.

mnt@Luke:20:1 @ On one of the days while he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the gospel, there came up the priest and the Scribes with the elders.

mnt@Luke:20:2 @ They spoke to him saying. "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is it that gave you this authority?"

mnt@Luke:20:3 @ "I will also ask you a question," he replied.

mnt@Luke:20:4 @ "Was Johns baptism from heaven or from man?"

mnt@Luke:20:5 @ So they reasoned among themselves. "If we say, From heaven, he will ask us, Why did you not believe in him?

mnt@Luke:20:6 @ "And if we say, From man, all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that Johnwas a prophet."

mnt@Luke:20:7 @ So they answered that they did not know whence it was.

mnt@Luke:20:8 @ "Nor will I tell you," Jesus answered, "by whose authority I do these things."

mnt@Luke:20:9 @ Then he began to tell the people this parable. "There was a man who planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went to another country for a long time.

mnt@Luke:20:10 @ "At harvest-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers, to ask them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dresser beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

mnt@Luke:20:11 @ "Then he sent another slave; and him also they flogged and handled shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.

mnt@Luke:20:12 @ "Then he sent yet a third, and him to they wounded and threw him out.

mnt@Luke:20:13 @ "Then the master of the vineyard said. "What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; it may be that they will reverence him.

mnt@Luke:20:14 @ "But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned together, saying. This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.

mnt@Luke:20:15 @ "So they turned him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the master of the vineyard do to them?

mnt@Luke:20:16 @ "He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and will give the vineyard to others."

mnt@Luke:20:17 @ He looked at them and said. "Then what does this scripture mean. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner?

mnt@Luke:20:18 @ "Every one who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; but whoever it falls upon will be scattered as dust."

mnt@Luke:20:19 @ At this the Scribes and the high priests were seeking to arrest him; only they were afraid of the people. For they perceived that he had referred to them in this parable.

mnt@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched him, and sent spies who pretended to be honest men, in order to seize on his speech, and to deliver him up to authority and jurisdiction of the governor.

mnt@Luke:20:21 @ So they put a question to him saying. "Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not regard any mans person, but teach the way of God honestly.

mnt@Luke:20:22 @ "Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar or not?"

mnt@Luke:20:23 @ But he perceived their knavery and answered.

mnt@Luke:20:24 @ "Show me a shilling. Whose image and superscription does it bear?" "Caesars," they replied.

mnt@Luke:20:25 @ "Then give to Caesar what belongs to him," he said, "to God give what is Gods."

mnt@Luke:20:26 @ So they could not lay hold of his sayings before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.

mnt@Luke:20:27 @ Next came some of the Sadducees who deny that there is resurrection, and they asked him.

mnt@Luke:20:28 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if a mans brother should die, but leave no children, his brother should take up his wife and raise up his children for his brother.

mnt@Luke:20:29 @ "Now there were seven brothers. the first took a wife and died childless,

mnt@Luke:20:30 @ "and the second and third took her,

mnt@Luke:20:31 @ "and likewise all the seven, but left no children when they died.

mnt@Luke:20:32 @ "Last of all the woman died too.

mnt@Luke:20:33 @ "In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For they all seven had her as wife."

mnt@Luke:20:34 @ "People in this world marry and are given in marriage," said Jesus,

mnt@Luke:20:35 @ "but those who are counted worthy to reach that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

mnt@Luke:20:36 @ "For indeed they cannot die any more; they are equal to the angels, and through being sons of the resurrection are sons of God.

mnt@Luke:20:37 @ "But that the dead are raised, even Moses clearly implied in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord. "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.

mnt@Luke:20:38 @ "Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to him all are alive.

mnt@Luke:20:39 @ Then some of the Scribes said, "Teacher, that was nobly said,"

mnt@Luke:20:40 @ for they no longer dared to ask him any questions.

mnt@Luke:20:41 @ "How is it," he asked them, "that they say that Christ is Davids son?

mnt@Luke:20:42 @ "for David himself says in the book of the Psalms, "The Lord said to my Lord. Sit at my right hand,

mnt@Luke:20:43 @ Until I make thy enemies the footstool at thy feet.

mnt@Luke:20:44 @ "David therefore himself calls him Lord, and how can he be his son?"

mnt@Luke:20:45 @ Then, in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples.

mnt@Luke:20:46 @ "Beware of the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes, and dote on salutations in the marketplaces, and on securing the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at banquets;

mnt@Luke:20:47 @ "but they devour widows houses and for a pretense make long prayers. These shall receive severer condemnation."

mnt@Luke:21:1 @ And he looked up and saw people casting their offerings into the treasury, and they were rich.
