Lukas 19
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Frälsningen kommer till Sackaios hem
19 När Jesus kom till Jeriko och var på väg genom staden,
2 försökte en man som hette Sackaios få se en skymt av honom. Han var kontrollant vid det romerska tullverket, och därför en mycket rik man.
3 Men han var alltför kortväxt för att kunna se över folkhopen.
4 Därför sprang han i förväg och klättrade upp i ett mullbärsträd vid sidan av vägen, för att kunna se Jesus bättre.
5 När Jesus kom förbi upptäckte han Sackaios och ropade: Sackaios! Skynda dig ner, för i dag vill jag gästa ditt hem!
6 Sackaios skyndade sig att klättra ner och tog överlycklig Jesus med sig hem.
7 Men folket tyckte inte om det. Alla vet ju att Sackaios har stulit pengar och blivit rik. Och ändå går Jesus hem till honom, muttrade de förargat.
8 Då stannade Sackaios och sa till Jesus: Herre, jag ska ge hälften av det jag äger till de fattiga, och om jag tagit ut för mycket tull av någon, så ska jag betala tillbaka fyra gånger så mycket!
9-10 Jesus sa till honom: Detta är en stor dag för dig och din familj, för Gud har i dag tagit emot er som sina barn. Du var ett av Abrahams förlorade barn. Människosonen har kommit för att söka upp och frälsa sådana människor.
Liknelsen om kungen och hans tio förvaltare
11 Eftersom Jesus närmade sig Jerusalem berättade han denna liknelse. Han visste nämligen att det var många i hans omgivning som räknade med att Guds rike skulle bli en verklighet när han anlände dit.
12 En man av kunglig släkt begav sig iväg på en lång resa för att krönas till kung.
13 Innan han reste kallade han till sig tio av sina anställda och gav var och en av dem en stor summa pengar, och sa: 'Satsa de här pengarna på något som ger mig inkomster. Jag är snart tillbaka.'
14 Men många av hans landsmän ville inte ha honom som kung, och i protest sände de en delegation till honom och meddelade detta.
15 Trots det blev han krönt till kung och kom tillbaka till sitt land. Han kallade då till sig de män som han hade gett pengarna till för att få reda på vad de hade gjort med dem.
16 Den förste mannen rapporterade en väldig vinst - tio gånger så mycket som det belopp han fått.
17 'Bra!
18 Nästa man kunde också rapportera vinst, fem gånger den ursprungliga summan.
19 'Bra!
20 Men den näste i raden lämnade bara tillbaka de pengar han hade fått från början. 'Jag har förvarat dem tryggt
21 'Jag var rädd för dig eftersom du är en hård man att göra affärer med. Du tar det som inte är ditt och skördar där du inte har sått.'
22 'Din late skojare!
23 varför satte du då inte in pengarna på en bank, så att jag åtminstone kunde få ränta på dem?'
24 Sedan vände han sig till dem som stod där: 'Ta pengarna från honom och ge dem till mannen som tjänat mest.'
25 'Men herre
26 'Ja
27 Och när det gäller mina fiender som inte ville ha mig till kung, så för hit dem och avrätta dem här inför mig.'
Jesus rider in i Jerusalem på en åsna
28 Sedan Jesus berättat detta fortsatte han sin vandring mot Jerusalem.
29 I närheten av städerna Betfage och Betania på Oljeberget, skickade han två av lärjungarna i förväg.
30 De fick i uppgift att gå till nästa by och söka efter en åsna som stod bunden vid sidan av vägen. Det skulle vara ett föl som ännu inte var inridet.Ta det, sa Jesus, och led hit det.
31 Och om någon frågar varför ni gör det så säg bara: Herren behöver det.
32 De fann åsnan precis som Jesus sagt.
33 Då de höll på att lösgöra den kom ägarna.Vad gör ni? frågade de. Varför tar ni åsnan?
34 Därför att Herren behöver den, svarade de.
35 De tog åsnan och ledde den till Jesus. Så bredde de ut sina mantlar på åsnans rygg och hjälpte Jesus upp på den.
36-37 Där han sedan kom ridande, lade folket ut sina kläder på vägen. När de så närmade sig den plats där vägen började gå nerför Oljeberget, satte alla igång att ropa och sjunga och lovprisa Gud för alla de märkliga under Jesus hade gjort.
38 Gud har gett oss en kung, jublade de. Och Gud har slutit fred med oss! Ära vare Gud i höjden!
39 Men några upprörda fariseer i folkmassan sa: Herre, säg åt dina lärjungar att de inte ropar på det där sättet. Det är hädelse!
40 Men han svarade dem: Om de tiger, så kommer stenarna att ropa i deras ställe!
41 När de kom närmare Jerusalem, och han såg staden framför sig, brast han i gråt.
42 Tänk om du bara hade förstått hur du skulle kunnat få frid, sa han. Men du var avvisande, och nu är det för sent.
43 Det kommer en dag då dina fiender ska belägra dig och omringa dig och överfalla dig.
44 De ska jämna dig med marken och dina invånare ska bli dödade. Fienderna ska inte låta en enda sten ligga kvar på sin plats, för du tog inte det tillfälle Gud gav dig.
Jesus rensar templet
45 Sedan gick han in i templet och började driva ut affärsmännen från deras stånd
46 och ropade åt dem: Skriften säger: 'Mitt tempel är en böneplats
47 Sedan undervisade han varje dag i templet, men översteprästerna och de religiösa ledarna, liksom affärsmännen, försökte komma på något sätt att göra sig av med honom.
48 Men de kunde inte, för han var omtyckt av människorna, och de slukade vartenda ord han sa.
Luke 19
World English Bible
19 He entered and was passing through Jericho. 2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short. 4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully. 7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately. 12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, [a] and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’ 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business. 16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief, 21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow. 23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’ 24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’ 26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’” 28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 When he came near to Bethsphage[b] and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, 30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 They said, “The Lord needs it.” 35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them. 36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
37 As he was now getting near, 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 which they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! (A) Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side, 44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ (B) but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!” (C)
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him. 48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
Luke 19
King James Version
19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
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.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
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.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
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.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
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.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
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.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
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.
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:
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.
