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:
23
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into
the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24
And he said unto them
that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give
it
to him that hath ten pounds.
25
(And they said
unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
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.
27
But those
mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay
them
before
me.
28
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
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,
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.
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.
32
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto
them.
33
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the
colt?
34
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast
their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36
And as he went, they spread their clothes
in the way.
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;
38
Saying, Blessed
be
the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace
in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said
unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40
And he answered and said unto them,
I tell you that, if
these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
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.
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,
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.
45
And he went into the temple, and
began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46
Saying unto them,
It is written,
My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
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,
48
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
