Luke 19:14-44

Luke 19:14-44

[14] But  his  citizens  hated  him,  and  sent  a message  after  him,  saying,  not  have  man to reign  over  [15] And  it came to pass,  that when  he  was returned,  having received  the kingdom,  then  he commanded  servants  to be called  unto him,  to whom  he had given  the money,  that  he might know  how much  had gained by trading.  [16] Then  came  the first,  saying,  Lord,  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  over  ten  cities.  [18] And  the second  came,  saying,  Lord,  pound  hath gained  five  pounds.  [19] And  he said  likewise  Be  thou  also  over  five  cities.  [20] And  another  came,  saying,  Lord,  behold,  pound,  which  I have  kept laid up  in  a napkin:  [21] For  I feared  because  an austere  man:  thou takest up  that  not  down,  and  reapest  that  not  sow.  [22] he saith  unto him,  Out of  mouth  will I judge  thou wicked  servant.  Thou knewest  that  was  an austere  man,  taking up  that  not  down,  and  reaping  that  not  sow:  [23] then  not  thou  money  into  the bank,  that  at my coming  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] I say  That  unto every one  which  hath  shall be given;  and  from  him that hath  not,  even  that  he hath  shall be taken away  from  [27] But  enemies,  which  would  not  should reign  over  them,  bring  hither,  and  slay  them before  [28] And  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  disciples,  [30] 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  [31] And  if  any man  ask  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  garments  upon  the colt,  and  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  [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  disciples.  [40] And  he answered  and said  I tell  that,  if  these  should hold their peace,  the stones  would immediately cry out.  [41] And  when  he was come near,  the city,  and wept  over  it,  [42] Saying,  If  thou hadst known,  even  thou,  in  day,  the things  which belong unto  peace!  but  now  they are hid  from  eyes.  [43] For  the days  shall come  upon  that  enemies  a trench  and  round,  and  in  on every side,  [44] And  even with the ground,  and  children  within  and  not  leave  in  one stone  upon  another;  because  thou knewest  not  the time  visitation.
