3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.	3 And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.	4 And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there.
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.	5 And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.”

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.	8 But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.”
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.	9 Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham.

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.	11 As they were listening to these things, continuing on, he spoke a parable, because he was nearing Jerusalem, and because they guessed that the kingdom of God might be manifested without delay.

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.	18 And the second came, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned five pounds.’
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.	19 And he said to him, ‘And so, you shall be over five cities.’
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:	20 And another approached, saying: ‘Lord, behold your one pound, which I kept stored in a cloth.
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.	21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.’
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:	22 He said to him: ‘By your own mouth, do I judge you, O wicked servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what 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?	23 And so, why did you not give my money to the bank, so that, upon my return, I might have withdrawn it with interest?’

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.	30 saying: “Go into the town which is opposite you. Upon entering it, you will find the colt of a donkey, tied, on which no man has ever sat. Untie it, and lead it here.
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.	31 And if anyone will ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this to him: ‘Because the Lord has requested its service.’ ”
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.	32 And those who were sent went out, and they found the colt standing, just as he told them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?	33 Then, as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.	34 So they said, “Because the Lord has need of it.”
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.	35 And they led it to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they helped Jesus onto it.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.	36 Then, as he was traveling, they were laying down their garments along 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;	37 And when he was now drawing near to the descent of Mount Olivet, the entire crowd of his disciples began to praise God joyfully, with a loud voice, over all the powerful works which they had seen,

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.	39 And certain Pharisees within the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your 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.	40 And he said to them, “I tell you, that if these will keep silent, the stones themselves will cry out.”
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,	41 And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
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.	42 “If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your 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,	43 For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you 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.	44 And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
