1 ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَٱجْتَازَ فِي أَرِيحَا. 2 وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ زَكَّا، وَهُوَ رَئِيسٌ لِلْعَشَّارِينَ وَكَانَ غَنِيًّا، 3 وَطَلَبَ أَنْ يَرَى يَسُوعَ مَنْ هُوَ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَصِيرَ ٱلْقَامَةِ. 4 فَرَكَضَ مُتَقَدِّمًا وَصَعِدَ إِلَى جُمَّيْزَةٍ لِكَيْ يَرَاهُ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَمُرَّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. 5 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ، نَظَرَ إِلَى فَوْقُ فَرَآهُ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا زَكَّا، أَسْرِعْ وَٱنْزِلْ، لِأَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَمْكُثَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِي بَيْتِكَ». 6 فَأَسْرَعَ وَنَزَلَ وَقَبِلَهُ فَرِحًا. 7 فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلْجَمِيعُ ذَلِكَ تَذَمَّرُوا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ دَخَلَ لِيَبِيتَ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ خَاطِئٍ». 8 فَوَقَفَ زَكَّا وَقَالَ لِلرَّبِّ: «هَا أَنَا يَارَبُّ أُعْطِي نِصْفَ أَمْوَالِي لِلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَشَيْتُ بِأَحَدٍ أَرُدُّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ». 9 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْيَوْمَ حَصَلَ خَلَاصٌ لِهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، إِذْ هُوَ أَيْضًا ٱبْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، 10 لِأَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ قَدْ جَاءَ لِكَيْ يَطْلُبَ وَيُخَلِّصَ مَا قَدْ هَلَكَ». 11 وَإِذْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ هَذَا عَادَ فَقَالَ مَثَلًا، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَانُوا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ يَظْهَرَ فِي ٱلْحَالِ. 12 فَقَالَ: «إِنْسَانٌ شَرِيفُ ٱلْجِنْسِ ذَهَبَ إِلَى كُورَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ لِيَأْخُذَ لِنَفْسِهِ مُلْكًا وَيَرْجِعَ. 13 فَدَعَا عَشَرَةَ عَبِيدٍ لَهُ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَمْنَاءٍ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: تَاجِرُوا حَتَّى آتِيَ. 14 وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ مَدِينَتِهِ فَكَانُوا يُبْغِضُونَهُ، فَأَرْسَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ سَفَارَةً قَائِلِينَ: لَا نُرِيدُ أَنَّ هَذَا يَمْلِكُ عَلَيْنَا. 15 وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ بَعْدَمَا أَخَذَ ٱلْمُلْكَ، أَمَرَ أَنْ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْعَبِيدُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ، لِيَعْرِفَ بِمَا تَاجَرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ. 16 فَجَاءَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ قَائِلًا: يَا سَيِّدُ، مَنَاكَ رَبِحَ عَشَرَةَ أَمْنَاءٍ. 17 فَقَالَ لَهُ: نِعِمَّا أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَبْدُ ٱلصَّالِحُ! لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ أَمِينًا فِي ٱلْقَلِيلِ، فَلْيَكُنْ لَكَ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى عَشْرِ مُدْنٍ. 18 ثُمَّ جَاءَ ٱلثَّانِي قَائِلًا: يَا سَيِّدُ، مَنَاكَ عَمِلَ خَمْسَةَ أَمْنَاءٍ. 19 فَقَالَ لِهَذَا أَيْضًا: وَكُنْ أَنْتَ عَلَى خَمْسِ مُدْنٍ. 20 ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ قَائِلًا: يَا سَيِّدُ، هُوَذَا مَنَاكَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدِي مَوْضُوعًا فِي مِنْدِيلٍ، 21 لِأَنِّي كُنْتُ أَخَافُ مِنْكَ، إِذْ أَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ صَارِمٌ، تَأْخُذُ مَا لَمْ تَضَعْ، وَتَحْصُدُ مَا لَمْ تَزْرَعْ. 22 فَقَالَ لَهُ: مِنْ فَمِكَ أَدِينُكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَبْدُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ. عَرَفْتَ أَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ صَارِمٌ، آخُذُ مَا لَمْ أَضَعْ، وَأَحْصُدُ مَا لَمْ أَزْرَعْ، 23 فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَضَعْ فِضَّتِي عَلَى مَائِدَةِ ٱلصَّيَارِفَةِ، فَكُنْتُ مَتَى جِئْتُ أَسْتَوْفِيهَا مَعَ رِبًا؟ 24 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْحَاضِرِينَ: خُذُوا مِنْهُ ٱلْمَنَا وَأَعْطُوهُ لِلَّذِي عِنْدَهُ ٱلْعَشَرَةُ ٱلْأَمْنَاءُ. 25 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَا سَيِّدُ، عِنْدَهُ عَشَرَةُ أَمْنَاءٍ! 26 لِأَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ لَهُ يُعْطَى، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَٱلَّذِي عِنْدَهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ. 27 أَمَّا أَعْدَائِي، أُولَئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُرِيدُوا أَنْ أَمْلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأْتُوا بِهِمْ إِلَى هُنَا وَٱذْبَحُوهُمْ قُدَّامِي». 28 وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا تَقَدَّمَ صَاعِدًا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. 29 وَإِذْ قَرُبَ مِنْ بَيْتِ فَاجِي وَبَيْتِ عَنْيَا، عِنْدَ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى جَبَلَ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ، أَرْسَلَ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ 30 قَائِلًا: «اِذْهَبَا إِلَى ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَكُمَا، وَحِينَ تَدْخُلَانِهَا تَجِدَانِ جَحْشًا مَرْبُوطًا لَمْ يَجْلِسْ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ قَطُّ. فَحُلَّاهُ وَأْتِيَا بِهِ. 31 وَإِنْ سَأَلَكُمَا أَحَدٌ: لِمَاذَا تَحُلَّانِهِ؟ فَقُولَا لَهُ هَكَذَا: إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَيْهِ». 32 فَمَضَى ٱلْمُرْسَلَانِ وَوَجَدَا كَمَا قَالَ لَهُمَا. 33 وَفِيمَا هُمَا يَحُلَّانِ ٱلْجَحْشَ قَالَ لَهُمَا أَصْحَابُهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَحُلَّانِ ٱلْجَحْشَ؟». 34 فَقَالَا: «ٱلرَّبُّ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَيْهِ». 35 وَأَتَيَا بِهِ إِلَى يَسُوعَ، وَطَرَحَا ثِيَابَهُمَا عَلَى ٱلْجَحْشِ، وَأَرْكَبَا يَسُوعَ. 36 وَفِيمَا هُوَ سَائِرٌ فَرَشُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. 37 وَلَمَّا قَرُبَ عِنْدَ مُنْحَدَرِ جَبَلِ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ، ٱبْتَدَأَ كُلُّ جُمْهُورِ ٱلتَّلَامِيذِ يَفْرَحُونَ وَيُسَبِّحُونَ ٱللهَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ، لِأَجْلِ جَمِيعِ ٱلْقُوَّاتِ ٱلَّتِي نَظَرُوا، 38 قَائِلِينَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْآتِي بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ! سَلَامٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَمَجْدٌ فِي ٱلْأَعَالِي!». 39 وَأَمَّا بَعْضُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، ٱنْتَهِرْ تَلَامِيذَكَ!». 40 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ إِنْ سَكَتَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَٱلْحِجَارَةُ تَصْرُخُ!». 41 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَقْتَرِبُ نَظَرَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَبَكَى عَلَيْهَا 42 قَائِلًا: «إِنَّكِ لَوْ عَلِمْتِ أَنْتِ أَيْضًا، حَتَّى فِي يَوْمِكِ هَذَا، مَا هُوَ لِسَلَامِكِ! وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أُخْفِيَ عَنْ عَيْنَيْكِ. 43 فَإِنَّهُ سَتَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ وَيُحِيطُ بِكِ أَعْدَاؤُكِ بِمِتْرَسَةٍ، وَيُحْدِقُونَ بِكِ وَيُحَاصِرُونَكِم مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، 44 وَيَهْدِمُونَكِ وَبَنِيكِ فِيكِ، وَلَا يَتْرُكُونَ فِيكِ حَجَرًا عَلَى حَجَرٍ، لِأَنَّكِ لَمْ تَعْرِفِي زَمَانَ ٱفْتِقَادِكِ». 45 وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ ٱبْتَدَأَ يُخْرِجُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَ وَيَشْتَرُونَ فِيهِ 46 قَائِلًا لَهُمْ: «مَكْتُوبٌ: إِنَّ بَيْتِي بَيْتُ ٱلصَّلَاةِ. وَأَنْتُمْ جَعَلْتُمُوهُ مَغَارَةَ لُصُوصٍ!». 47 وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، وَكَانَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةُ مَعَ وُجُوهِ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يُهْلِكُوهُ، 48 وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَا يَفْعَلُونَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ كُلَّهُ كَانَ مُتَعَلِّقًا بِهِ يَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ.

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.
