Scripture<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 19: 1-10 and 11-27<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19 Jesus entered Jericho 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 tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, \u201cZacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.\u201d 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, \u201cHe has gone to be the guest of a sinner.\u201d 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, \u201cLook, 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.\u201d 9 Jesus said to him, \u201cToday salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 was going to appear at once. 12 He said: \u201cA 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 and gave them ten minas.[a] \u2018Put this money to work,\u2019 he said, \u2018until I come back.\u2019 14 \u201cBut his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, \u2018We don\u2019t want this man to be our king.\u2019 15 \u201cHe 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 \u201cThe first one came and said, \u2018Sir, your mina has earned ten more.\u2019 17 \u201c\u2018Well done, my good servant!\u2019 his master replied. \u2018Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.\u2019 18 \u201cThe second came and said, \u2018Sir, your mina has earned five more.\u2019 19 \u201cHis master answered, \u2018You take charge of five cities.\u2019 20 \u201cThen another servant came and said, \u2018Sir, 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.\u2019 22 \u201cHis master replied, \u2018I 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? 23 Why then didn\u2019t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?\u2019 24 \u201cThen he said to those standing by, \u2018Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.\u2019 25 \u201c\u2018Sir,\u2019 they said, \u2018he already has ten!\u201926 \u201cHe replied, \u2018I 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. 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them\u2014bring them here and kill them in front of me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
