2 And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich.
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
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.

8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
9 Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
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 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
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.

17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18 And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
19 And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
20 And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
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 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
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 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
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 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’

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 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
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 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 And they that were sent, went their way, and found the colt standing, as he had said unto them.
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
35 And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.

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,

40 To whom he said: I say to you, that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
41 And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
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 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
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 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
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 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”

46 Saying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
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 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

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.
