KJV ¹ And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

KJV ² And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

KJV ³ And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

KJV ⁴ And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

KJV ⁵ 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.

KJV ⁶ And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

KJV ⁷ And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

KJV ⁸ 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.

KJV ⁹ And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

KJV ¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

KJV ¹¹ 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.

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

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

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

KJV ¹⁵ 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.

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

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

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

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

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

KJV ²¹ 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.

KJV ²² 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:

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

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

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

KJV ²⁶ For 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.

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

KJV ²⁸ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

KJV ²⁹ And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

KJV ³⁰ 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.

KJV ³¹ And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

KJV ³² And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

KJV ³³ And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

KJV ³⁴ And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

KJV ³⁵ And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

KJV ³⁶ And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

KJV ³⁷ And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

KJV ³⁸ Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

KJV ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

KJV ⁴⁰ And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

KJV ⁴¹ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

KJV ⁴² Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

KJV ⁴³ For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

KJV ⁴⁴ And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

KJV ⁴⁵ And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

KJV ⁴⁶ Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

KJV ⁴⁷ And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

KJV ⁴⁸ And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

KJV ¹ And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

KJV ² And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

KJV ³ And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

KJV ⁴ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

KJV ⁵ And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

KJV ⁶ But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

KJV ⁷ And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

KJV ⁸ And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

KJV ⁹ Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

KJV ¹⁰ And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

KJV ¹¹ And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

KJV ¹² And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

KJV ¹³ Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

KJV ¹⁴ But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

KJV ¹⁵ So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

KJV ¹⁶ He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

KJV ¹⁷ And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

KJV ¹⁸ Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

KJV ¹⁹ And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

KJV ²⁰ And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

KJV ²¹ And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

KJV ²² Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

KJV ²³ But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

KJV ²⁴ Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.

KJV ²⁵ And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

KJV ²⁶ And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

KJV ²⁷ Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

KJV ²⁸ Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

KJV ²⁹ There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

KJV ³⁰ And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

KJV ³¹ And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

KJV ³² Last of all the woman died also.

KJV ³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

KJV ³⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

KJV ³⁵ But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

KJV ³⁶ Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

KJV ³⁷ Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

KJV ³⁸ For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

KJV ³⁹ Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

KJV ⁴⁰ And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

KJV ⁴¹ And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

KJV ⁴² And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

KJV ⁴³ Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

KJV ⁴⁴ David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

KJV ⁴⁵ Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

KJV ⁴⁶ Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

KJV ⁴⁷ Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
