Lukas 19
BasisBijbel
Jezus op bezoek bij Zacheüs
19 Jezus kwam Jericho binnen en liep door de stad. 2 Daar woonde Zacheüs, het hoofd van de belasting-ontvangers. Hij was heel rijk. 3 Hij probeerde te zien wie Jezus was. Maar dat lukte niet, want hij was klein en er waren te veel mensen. 4 Daarom liep hij hard vooruit en klom in een vijgenboom die op een plek stond waar Jezus voorbij zou komen. Dan zou hij Jezus kunnen zien.
5 Toen Jezus bij de boom kwam, keek Hij omhoog en zei tegen Zacheüs: "Zacheüs, kom vlug naar beneden. Want Ik moet vandaag bij jou op bezoek komen." 6 Zacheüs kwam vlug naar beneden en ontving Hem blij als gast in zijn huis. 7 Toen de mensen dat zagen, mopperden ze allemaal en zeiden: "Hij is bij een slecht mens op bezoek."[a] 8 Maar Zacheüs ging staan en zei tegen de Heer Jezus: "Heer, ik ga de helft van alles wat ik heb aan de arme mensen geven. En als ik iemand te veel belasting heb laten betalen, betaal ik hem vier keer zoveel terug." 9 Jezus zei tegen hem: "Vandaag is deze man gered, omdat ook hij een zoon van Abraham is.[b] 10 Want de Mensenzoon is gekomen om mensen die bij God weggelopen waren, te zoeken en te redden."
Het verhaal van de dienaren met het geld
11 Jezus vertelde de luisterende mensen nog iets in de vorm van een verhaal. Want Hij was nu dicht bij Jeruzalem en iedereen dacht dat dan het Koninkrijk van God zou komen.[c] 12 Hij zei: "Er was een edelman die naar een ver land moest. Daar zou hij tot koning worden gekroond. Daarna zou hij weer terugkomen. 13 Hij riep tien van zijn dienaren bij zich en gaf hun elk één pond (= 100 daglonen). Hij zei tegen hen: 'Doe hiermee zaken voor mij, totdat ik terugkom.'
14 De mensen van zijn stad haatten hem. Ze stuurden hem boodschappers achterna die moesten zeggen: 'We willen niet dat deze man koning over ons wordt.'
15 Toen de edelman tot koning was gekroond, kwam hij weer terug. Hij riep de dienaren bij zich die hij het geld had gegeven. Hij wilde weten hoeveel ze ermee hadden verdiend. 16 De eerste kwam en zei: 'Heer, ik heb met uw pond nog tien ponden bijverdiend.' 17 De edelman zei tegen hem: 'Goed gedaan! Je bent een goede dienaar. Ik heb je eerst weinig gegeven. Daarmee ben je goed omgegaan. Daarom zal ik je nu véél geven: je krijgt het bestuur over tien steden.' 18 De tweede dienaar kwam en zei: 'Heer, met uw pond heb ik nog vijf ponden bijverdiend.' 19 De edelman zei ook tegen hem: 'Jij krijgt het bestuur over vijf steden.'
20 De volgende kwam en zei: 'Heer, hier is het pond dat u mij had gegeven. Ik heb het in een doek gestopt en zo bewaard. 21 Want ik was bang voor u omdat u zo streng bent. U neemt wat u niet heeft weggelegd en u maait waar u niet heeft gezaaid.' 22 De edelman zei tegen hem: 'Ik zal je veroordelen met de woorden van je eigen mond, jij slechte dienaar! Je zegt dat ik streng ben. Je zegt dat ik neem wat ik niet heb weggelegd en dat ik maai wat ik niet heb gezaaid. 23 Als je dat wist, waarom heb je mijn geld dan niet naar de bank gebracht? Dan had ik het nu met rente kunnen ophalen.' 24 En hij zei tegen de mensen die bij hem stonden: 'Neem hem het geld af. Geef het aan de man die tien ponden heeft.' 25 Ze antwoordden hem: 'Heer, maar hij heeft al tien ponden.' "
26 Jezus zei: "Ik zeg jullie dat iedereen die heeft, nog meer zal krijgen. Maar van iedereen die niet heeft, zal worden afgenomen ook wat hij wel heeft.
27 En de edelman zei: 'Haal nu die vijanden van mij die niet wilden dat ik koning over hen werd. Breng hen hier bij mij en dood hen.' "
Jezus op weg naar Jeruzalem
28 Toen Jezus dit had verteld, reisde Hij voor hen uit naar Jeruzalem. 29 Hij kwam bij Betfagé en Betanië, aan de voet van de Olijfberg. Daar stuurde Hij twee van zijn leerlingen vooruit. 30 Hij zei tegen hen: "Ga naar dat dorp daar. Als je er binnenkomt, zul je een jonge ezel vastgebonden zien staan. Er heeft nog nooit iemand op gezeten. Maak het dier los en breng het hier. 31 En als iemand zegt: 'Waarom maken jullie die ezel los?' dan moeten jullie zeggen: 'De Heer heeft hem nodig.' "
32 De twee gingen naar het dorp en alles ging zoals Jezus had gezegd. 33 Toen ze de ezel losmaakten, zeiden de eigenaars tegen hen: "Waarom maken jullie die ezel los?" 34 Ze zeiden: "De Heer heeft hem nodig." 35 Ze brachten het dier naar Jezus, legden hun mantels over de rug van de ezel en hielpen Jezus er op. 36 Zo reisde Hij verder. En ze spreidden hun mantels vóór Hem op de weg uit. 37 Toen Hij vlak bij Jeruzalem kwam, bij de helling van de Olijfberg, begon de grote groep leerlingen die achter Jezus aan kwam, luid God te prijzen. Zó blij waren ze over alle wonderen die ze hadden gezien. 38 Ze riepen: "Gods zegen op de Koning die door de Heer is gestuurd! Vrede in de hemel! Eer in de hoogste hemel!" 39 Er liepen ook Farizeeërs tussen de mensen in. Een paar van hen zeiden tegen Hem: "Meester, U moet uw leerlingen verbieden dat te roepen!" 40 Maar Hij antwoordde: "Ik zeg jullie dat als zíj zouden zwijgen, de stenen het zouden roepen!"
41 Toen Hij nog dichter bij Jeruzalem was gekomen en de stad zag, moest Hij huilen. 42 Hij zei: "Och Jeruzalem, als jij vandaag nu maar begreep wat je nodig hebt om vrede te vinden. Maar je kan het nu niet begrijpen. 43 Er zal een tijd komen waarin je vijanden je zullen aanvallen en omsingelen. Ze zullen je van alle kanten bedreigen. 44 Ze zullen je bewoners vertrappen en geen steen op de andere laten, omdat je het niet hebt opgemerkt toen God je wilde redden."
Jezus in de tempel
45 Jezus ging de tempel binnen. Daar begon hij iedereen die dieren aan het kopen of verkopen was, weg te jagen.[d] 46 Hij zei tegen hen: "Er staat in de Boeken: 'Mijn huis zal een huis van gebed zijn, maar jullie hebben er een rovershol van gemaakt!' " 47 Elke dag gaf Hij les in de tempel. De leiders van de priesters, de wetgeleerden en de leiders van het volk probeerden een plan te bedenken om Hem te doden. 48 Maar ze konden niets bedenken. Want alle mensen waren één en al aandacht voor alles wat Jezus zei.

English Standard Version
Jesus and Zacchaeus
19 (A)He entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. 3 And (B)he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. 4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into (C)a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for (D)I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he hurried and came down and (E)received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all (F)grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8 And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods (G)I give to the poor. And if I have (H)defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it (I)fourfold.” 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since (J)he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For (K)the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
The Parable of the Ten Minas
11 As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because (L)they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. 12 He said therefore, (M)“A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. 13 Calling (N)ten of his servants,[a] he gave them ten minas,[b] and said to them, ‘Engage in business (O)until I come.’ 14 But (P)his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ 15 When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business. 16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant![c] Because you have been (Q)faithful in a very little, (R)you shall have authority over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made five minas.’ 19 And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’ 20 Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in (S)a handkerchief; 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are (T)a severe man. You take (U)what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 He said to him, (V)‘I will condemn you with your own words, (W)you wicked servant! You knew that I was (X)a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’ 24 And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’ 25 And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’ 26 ‘I tell you that (Y)to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 27 But (Z)as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and (AA)slaughter them before me.’”
The Triumphal Entry
28 And when he had said these things, (AB)he went on ahead, (AC)going up to Jerusalem. 29 (AD)When he drew near to Bethphage and (AE)Bethany, at (AF)the mount that is called Olivet, he sent (AG)two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, (AH)on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32 So those who were sent went away and found it (AI)just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they (AJ)spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—(AK)the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice (AL)for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, (AM)“Blessed is (AN)the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and (AO)glory in the highest!” 39 (AP)And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, (AQ)the very stones would cry out.”
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 (AR)And when he drew near and saw the city, (AS)he wept over it, 42 saying, (AT)“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now (AU)they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For (AV)the days will come upon you, when your enemies (AW)will set up a barricade around you and (AX)surround you and hem you in on every side 44 (AY)and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And (AZ)they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know (BA)the time of your (BB)visitation.”
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
45 (BC)And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying to them, “It is written, (BD)‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but (BE)you have made it a den of robbers.”
47 (BF)And he was teaching daily in the temple. (BG)The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.

New International Version
Zacchaeus the Tax Collector
19 Jesus entered Jericho(A) and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig(B) tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.(C)
5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”(D)
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord,(E) “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything,(F) I will pay back four times the amount.”(G)
9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.(H) 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”(I)
The Parable of the Ten Minas(J)
11 While 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(K) was going to appear at once.(L) 12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants(M) and gave them ten minas.[a] ‘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!’(N) his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’(O)
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. 21 I 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.’(P)
22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words,(Q) 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?(R) 23 Why 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.(S) 27 But 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(T)(U)
28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.(V) 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany(W) at the hill called the Mount of Olives,(X) 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. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.(Y) 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks(Z) on the road.
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,(AA) the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”(AC)
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”(AD)
40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”(AE)
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it(AF) 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.(AG) 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls.(AH) They will not leave one stone on another,(AI) because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming(AJ) to you.”
Jesus at the Temple(AK)
45 When 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’[c];(AL) but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d]”(AM)
47 Every day he was teaching at the temple.(AN) But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him.(AO) 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
