撒該悔改
1耶穌進了耶利哥，正從城裡經過。 2有個人名叫撒該，是稅吏長，家財豐厚。 3他想看看耶穌是誰，可是因為周圍人多，他身材矮小，無法看見。 4他便跑到前面，爬上一棵桑樹觀看，因為耶穌會從那裡經過。
5耶穌走到那裡，抬頭招呼他說：「撒該，快下來！今天我必須住在你家。」
6撒該連忙爬下來，興高采烈地迎接耶穌。 7百姓見狀都埋怨說：「祂怎麼到一個罪人家裡作客？」
8撒該站起來對主說：「主啊，我要把一半的財產分給窮人。我欺騙過誰，就還誰四倍。」
9耶穌說：「今天救恩臨到這家了，因為他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫。 10人子來是要尋找和拯救迷失的人。」
十個奴僕的比喻
11眾人在聽的時候，耶穌又為他們講了一個比喻，因為祂快到耶路撒冷了，人們以為上帝的國馬上就要顯現了。
12耶穌說：「有一位貴族要到遠方去受封為王，然後返回。 13臨行前，他召集了十個奴僕，發給每人一千個銀幣，吩咐他們，『你們在我出門期間要用這些錢做生意。』
14「可是他的人民卻憎恨他，他們隨後派一個代表團去請願說，『我們不要這人作我們的王。』
15「那貴族受封為王回來後，召齊十個奴僕，想知道他們做生意賺了多少。 16第一個奴僕上前稟告說，『主啊，我用你給我的一千個銀幣賺了一萬個銀幣。』
17「主人說，『好，你真是個好奴僕！你既然在小事上忠心，就派你管理十座城。』
18「第二個奴僕上前說，『主啊，我用你給我的一千個銀幣賺了五千個銀幣。』
19「主人說，『我派你管理五座城。』
20「另一個奴僕上前說，『主啊，這是你先前給我的一千個銀幣，我一直把它包在手帕裡。 21因為你很嚴厲，沒有存還要取，沒有種還要收，所以我怕你。』
22「主人對那奴僕說，『你這個惡奴僕！我要按你自己的話定你的罪。你既然知道我很嚴厲，沒有存還要取，沒有種還要收， 23為什麼不把我的銀幣存進錢莊，等我回來可以連本帶利收回來？』
24「接著，他吩咐站在旁邊的奴僕，『收回他的一千銀幣，給那個有一萬銀幣的。』
25「他們說，『主啊，那個人已經有一萬銀幣了。』
26「主人答道，『我告訴你們，凡有的，還要給他更多；凡沒有的，連他僅有的也要奪去。 27至於那些反對我作王的仇敵，把他們帶來，在我面前處決。』」
騎驢進耶路撒冷
28耶穌說完這個比喻，就走在眾人前面上耶路撒冷去。
29快到橄欖山的伯法其和伯大尼時，耶穌派了兩個門徒，並囑咐說： 30「你們去前面的村莊，一進村就會看見一頭從來沒有人騎過的驢駒拴在那裡，你們把牠解開牽來。 31若有人問你們為什麼把牠解開，就說，『主要用牠。』」
32兩個門徒出去後，所遇見的情形正如耶穌所說的。 33當他們解開驢駒時，主人問他們：「你們解開驢駒幹什麼？」
34他們說：「主要用牠。」
35他們把驢駒牽到耶穌那裡，把自己的外衣搭在驢背上，扶耶穌上驢。
36耶穌騎著驢前行，眾人把衣服鋪在路上。 37祂正走下橄欖山，將近耶路撒冷的時候，眾門徒因為以往所見的神蹟奇事，就歡騰起來，高聲讚美上帝：
38「奉主名來的王當受稱頌！」19·38 詩篇118·26。
「天上有平安，至高之處有榮耀！」
39百姓中有幾個法利賽人對耶穌說：「老師，責備你的門徒吧。」
40耶穌說：「我告訴你們，如果他們閉口不言，這些石頭都要呼喊了！」
為耶路撒冷哀哭
41耶穌快到耶路撒冷時，看見那城，就為它哀哭， 42說：「今天你若知道那能帶給你平安的事就好了！可惜這事現在是隱藏的，你看不見！ 43因為有一天敵人要在你周圍築壘把你團團圍住，四面攻擊你。 44他們要把你夷為平地，毀滅你城牆裡的兒女，不會留下兩塊疊在一起的石頭，因為你沒有認出上帝眷顧你的時刻。」
耶穌潔淨聖殿
45耶穌進入聖殿趕走裡面做買賣的人， 46並對他們說：「聖經上說，『我的殿要成為禱告的殿』19·46 以賽亞書56·7。，你們竟把它變成了賊窩19·46 耶利米書7·11。。」
47祂天天在聖殿教導人，祭司長、律法教師和百姓的官長都想殺祂， 48只是無從下手，因為百姓都十分喜愛聽祂講道。
Zacchaeus the Tax Collector
1Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
5When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
8But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”
9Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
The Parable of the Ten Minas
11While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.19:13 A mina was about three months’ wages. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
14“But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15“He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
16“The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17“ ‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
18“The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
19“His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
20“Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22“His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
24“Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25“ ‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26“He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’ ”
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King
28After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30“Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’ ”
32Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. 33As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
37When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
38“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”19:38 Psalm 118:26
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
41As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44They will dash 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 God’s coming to you.”
Jesus at the Temple
45When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46“It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be a house of prayer’19:46 Isaiah 56:7; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’19:46 Jer. 7:11”
47Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 48Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
