1 And entering in, he walked through Jericho.
1 Y HABIENDO entrado [Jesús], iba pasando por Jericó;
2 And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich.
2 Y he aquí un varón llamado Zaqueo, el cual era el principal de los publicanos, y era rico;
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.
3 Y procuraba ver á Jesús quién fuese; mas no podía á causa de la multitud, porque era pequeño de estatura.
4 And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way.
4 Y corriendo delante, subióse á un árbol sicómoro para verle; porque había de pasar por allí.
5 And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.
5 Y como vino á aquel lugar Jesús, mirando, le vió, y díjole: Zaqueo, date priesa, desciende, porque hoy es necesario que pose en tu casa.
6 And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy.
6 Entonces él descendió apriesa, y le recibió gozoso.
7 And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.
7 Y viendo esto, todos murmuraban, diciendo que había entrado á posar con un hombre pecador.
8 But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.
8 Entonces Zaqueo, puesto en pie, dijo al Señor: He aquí, Señor, la mitad de mis bienes doy á los pobres; y si en algo he defraudado á alguno, lo vuelvo con el cuatro tanto.
9 Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
9 Y Jesús le dijo: Hoy ha venido la salvación á esta casa; por cuanto él también es hijo de Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
10 Porque el Hijo del hombre vino á buscar y á salvar lo que se había perdido.
11 As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.
11 Y oyendo ellos estas cosas, prosiguió [Jesús] y dijo una parábola, por cuanto estaba cerca de Jerusalem, y porque pensaban que luego había de ser manifestado el reino de Dios.
12 He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
12 Dijo pues: Un hombre noble partió á una provincia lejos, para tomar para sí un reino, y volver.
13 And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.
13 Mas llamados diez siervos suyos, les dió diez minas, y díjoles: Negociad entre tanto que vengo.
14 But his citizens hated him: and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us.
14 Empero sus ciudadanos le aborrecían, y enviaron tras de él una embajada, diciendo: No queremos que éste reine sobre nosotros.
15 And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
15 Y aconteció, que vuelto él, habiendo tomado el reino, mandó llamar á sí á aquellos siervos á los cuales había dado el dinero, para saber lo que había negociado cada uno.
16 And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
16 Y vino el primero, diciendo: Señor, tu mina ha ganado diez minas.
17 And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.
17 Y él le dice: Está bien, buen siervo; pues que en lo poco has sido fiel, tendrás potestad sobre diez ciudades.
18 And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
18 Y vino otro, diciendo: Señor, tu mina ha hecho cinco minas.
19 And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.
19 Y también á éste dijo: Tú también sé sobre cinco ciudades.
20 And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;
20 Y vino otro, diciendo: Señor, he aquí tu mina, la cual he tenido guardada en un pañizuelo:
21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.
21 Porque tuve miedo de ti, que eres hombre recio; tomas lo que no pusiste, y siegas lo que no sembraste.
22 He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:
22 Entonces él le dijo: Mal siervo, de tu boca te juzgo. Sabías que yo era hombre recio, que tomo lo que no puse, y que siego lo que no sembré;
23 And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury?
23 ¿Por qué, pues, no diste mi dinero al banco, y yo viniendo lo demandara con el logro?
24 And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
24 Y dijo á los que estaban presentes: Quitadle la mina, y dadla al que tiene las diez minas.
25 And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.
25 Y ellos le dijeron: Señor, tiene diez minas.
26 But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.
26 Pues yo os digo que á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado; mas al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.
27 But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and kill them before me.
27 Y también á aquellos mis enemigos que no querían que yo reinase sobre ellos, traedlos acá, y degolladlos delante de mí.
28 And having said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.
28 Y dicho esto, iba delante subiendo á Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethania, unto the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
29 Y aconteció, que llegando cerca de Bethfagé, y de Bethania, al monte que se llama de las Olivas, envió dos de sus discípulos,
30 Saying: Go into the town which is over against you, at your entering into which you shall find the colt of an ass tied, on which no man ever hath sitten: loose him, and bring him hither.
30 Diciendo: Id á la aldea de enfrente; en la cual como entrareis, hallaréis un pollino atado, en el que ningún hombre se ha sentado jamás; desatadlo, y traedlo.
31 And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? you shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.
31 Y si alguien os preguntare, ¿por qué lo desatáis? le responderéis así: Porque el Señor lo ha menester.
32 And they that were sent, went their way, and found the colt standing, as he had said unto them.
32 Y fueron los que habían sido enviados, y hallaron como les dijo.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?
33 Y desatando ellos el pollino, sus dueños les dijeron: ¿Por qué desatáis el pollino?
34 But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.
34 Y ellos dijeron: Porque el Señor lo ha menester.
35 And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.
35 Y trajéronlo á Jesús; y habiendo echado sus vestidos sobre el pollino, pusieron á Jesús encima.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.
36 Y yendo él tendían sus capas por el camino.
37 And when he was now coming near the descent of mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,
37 Y como llegasen ya cerca de la bajada del monte de las Olivas, toda la multitud de los discípulos, gozándose, comenzaron á alabar á Dios á gran voz por todas las maravillas que habían visto,
38 Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory on high!
38 Diciendo: ¡Bendito el rey que viene en [el] nombre del Señor: paz en el cielo, y gloria en lo altísimo!
39 And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples.
39 Entonces algunos de los Fariseos de la compañía, le dijeron: Maestro, reprende á tus discípulos.
40 To whom he said: I say to you, that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
40 Y él respondiendo, les dijo: Os digo que si éstos callaren, las piedras clamarán.
41 And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
41 Y como llegó cerca, viendo la ciudad, lloró sobre ella,
42 If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace; but now they are hidden from thy eyes.
42 Diciendo: ¡Oh si también tú conocieses, á lo menos en este tu día, lo que toca á tu paz! mas ahora está encubierto de tus ojos.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side,
43 Porque vendrán días sobre ti, que tus enemigos te cercarán con baluarte, y te pondrán cerco, y de todas partes te pondrán en estrecho,
44 And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee: and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
44 Y te derribarán á tierra, y á tus hijos dentro de ti; y no dejarán sobre ti piedra sobre piedra; por cuanto no conociste el tiempo de tu visitación.
45 And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought.
45 Y entrando en el templo, comenzó á echar fuera á todos los que vendían y compraban en él.
46 Saying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.
46 Diciéndoles: Escrito está: Mi casa, casa de oración es; mas vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.
47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy him:
47 Y enseñaba cada día en el templo; mas los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los escribas, y los principales del pueblo procuraban matarle.
48 And they found not what to do to him: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
48 Y no hallaban qué hacerle, porque todo el pueblo estaba suspenso oyéndole.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… in the animal class;--the spiritual, again, when He said, "Let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and preach the kingdom of God," and when He said to Zaccheus the publican, "Make haste, and come down, for to-day I must abide in thine house" --for these they declared to have belonged to the spiritual class.
For not only to God the Father, but also to His Only-begotten, who came to seek what was lost, we had been known already even so far as to be chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.

Why, these things, if we be silent "the stones will immediately cry out;" so plain are they, and manifest, and more lucid than the sunbeam itself.

Guard them with reverence, lest per chance the enemy despoil any who have grown slack; or lest some heretic pervert any of the truths delivered to you. For faith is like putting money into the bank, even as we have now done; but from you God requires the accounts of the deposit.

Further, when, as He drew nigh to Jerusalem, He wept over it and said, "If thou hadst known, even thou, in this thy day, the things that belong unto thy peace, but they are hidden from thee," by this word "hidden" He showed the abstruse nature of Bythus.
