And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds (19:18)

And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities (19:19)

And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: (19:20)

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 (19:21)

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: (19:22)

Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? (19:23)

And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds (19:24)

(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) (19:25)

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 (19:26)

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me (19:27)

And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. (19:28)

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, (19:29) com1

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] (19:30)

And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him (19:31)

And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them (19:32)

And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? (19:33)

And they said, The Lord hath need of him (19:34)

And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. (19:35) com2

And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. (19:36) com3

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; (19:37)

Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest (19:38)

And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples (19:39)

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out (19:40)

And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, (19:41)

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 (19:42)

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, (19:43)

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 (19:44)

And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; (19:45)

Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves (19:46)

And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, (19:47) com4

And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him (19:48)
