Luke 19:1-26, NIV
Zacchaeus the Tax
Collector
1Jesus
entered Jericho and was passing through. 2A man was there by the
name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3He
wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the
crowd. 4So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him,
since Jesus was coming that way.
5When
Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus,
come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”6So
he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7All the
people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
8But
Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half
of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I
will pay back four times the amount.”
9Jesus
said to him, “Today salvation has come to this
house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.10For the Son of
Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
The Parable of the Ten
Minas
11While 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 was going to appear at
once. 12He said: “A man of noble birth
went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.13So
he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘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!’ his master replied.
‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten
cities.’
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.21I 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.’
22“His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words,
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?23Why 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.
