Jesus and Zacchaeus
(Numbers 5:5–10)
Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. Jos 6:1-27Luk 18:351Ki 16:342Ki 2:18-22Jos 2:1 And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy. Luk 18:24-272Ch 17:5-6 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature. Luk 23:8Jhn 12:21Luk 9:7-9Luk 12:25 So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way. Isa 9:10Luk 5:191Ch 27:281Ki 10:27Amo 7:14Psa 78:47
When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.” Rev 3:20Jhn 14:23Ezk 16:6Heb 13:2Eph 3:17Luk 19:10Gen 18:3-5Jhn 1:48
So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully. Act 16:34Luk 5:29Act 16:15Act 2:41Gal 1:15-16Gen 18:6-7Isa 64:5Luk 2:16 And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!” Luk 15:2Luk 7:34Luk 7:39Mat 9:11Luk 18:9-14Luk 5:30Mat 21:28-31
But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.” 2Sa 12:6Num 5:7Luk 18:22-23Lev 6:1-6Pro 6:31Exo 22:1-4Luk 12:33Luk 16:9
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham. Gal 3:7Luk 13:16Rom 4:16Act 16:30-321Pe 2:10Gal 3:29Jhn 4:38-42Luk 3:8 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Ezk 34:16Mat 1:211Ti 1:13-16Luk 5:31-32Luk 15:4-7Mat 9:12-13Rom 5:6Mat 15:24
The Parable of the Ten Minas
(Matthew 25:14–30)
While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently. Luk 17:20Act 1:62Th 2:1-3 So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return. Mat 25:14-30Heb 9:28Luk 19:12-271Pe 3:22Luk 20:9Mat 21:38Mrk 12:11Co 15:25 Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. 1 ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said. Mat 25:14-15Jhn 12:261Co 12:7-111Pe 4:9-11Rom 12:6-81Co 12:28-292Pe 1:1Jas 1:1
But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’ 1Sa 8:7Act 7:51-52Act 3:14-15Jhn 1:11Jhn 15:18Jhn 15:23-24Luk 19:27Psa 2:1-3
When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned. 1Co 4:1-5Rom 14:10-12Luk 12:48Luk 16:2-13Mat 18:23-35Mat 25:19Psa 2:4-6
The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’ 1Co 15:102Ti 4:7-8Jas 2:18-26Col 1:28-291Ch 29:14-16
His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’ Luk 16:10Mat 25:21Rev 2:26-291Sa 2:301Pe 1:71Co 4:5Gen 39:41Pe 5:4
The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’ Mat 13:23Mrk 4:202Co 8:12
And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’ 1Co 15:58Isa 3:101Co 15:41-422Co 9:62Jn 1:81Co 3:8
Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth. 2 Mat 25:24Pro 26:13-16Jas 4:17Luk 19:13Luk 3:9Luk 6:46 For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’ Mat 25:24-251Jn 4:181Sa 12:201Sa 6:19-212Sa 6:9-112Ti 1:7Exo 20:19-20Ezk 18:25-29
His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? 2Sa 1:16Job 15:5-6Mat 12:37Mat 22:12Mat 25:26-27Rom 3:19 Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’ Deu 23:19-20Exo 22:25-27Rom 2:4-5
Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’ Luk 12:20Luk 16:2
‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’ 2Sa 7:19Isa 55:8-9Luk 16:2
He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 2Jn 1:8Luk 8:18Mat 13:12Mat 21:43Mat 25:28-29Mrk 4:251Sa 15:281Sa 2:30 And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’” Luk 19:14Psa 21:8-9Luk 21:22Mat 22:7Num 16:30-35Heb 10:13Nam 1:8Psa 2:9
The Triumphal Entry
(Zechariah 9:9–13; Matthew 21:1–11; Mark 11:1–11; John 12:12–19)
After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. Luk 9:511Pe 4:1Heb 12:2Luk 12:50Mrk 10:32-34Psa 40:6-8Luk 18:31Jhn 18:11
As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples, Act 1:12Mat 21:1-11Mat 21:17Mrk 11:1-11Zec 14:4Jhn 12:12-16Luk 19:37Luk 21:37 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. Luk 22:8-13Jhn 14:29Luk 19:321Sa 10:2-9 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’” Mrk 11:3-6Psa 24:1Psa 50:10-12Act 10:36Mat 21:2-3
So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them. Luk 22:13 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
“The Lord needs it,” they answered. Zec 9:9Jhn 10:352Co 8:9Jhn 12:16 Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it. Jhn 12:14Mat 21:7Mrk 11:7-82Ki 9:13Gal 4:15-16
As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road. 2Ki 9:13Mat 21:8 And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen: Ezr 3:10-13Jhn 12:12-13Mat 21:11Ch 15:281Ch 16:4-71Ki 8:55-562Ch 29:28-302Ch 29:36
“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” 3 Zec 9:9Luk 13:35Psa 118:22-26Mat 21:9Mrk 11:9-10Psa 72:17-191Pe 1:121Ti 1:17
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 4
But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!” Act 4:1-2Mat 23:13Act 4:16-18Jas 4:5Jhn 12:19Jhn 12:10Mat 21:15-16Isa 26:11
“I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.” Hab 2:11Isa 55:12Mat 3:9Psa 96:11Psa 98:7-9Psa 114:1-8Mat 27:51-54Mat 21:15-16
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
(Isaiah 29:1–16)
As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it Luk 13:34-35Jhn 11:35Psa 119:136Jer 13:17Jer 17:16Jer 9:1Psa 119:158Psa 119:53 and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes. Deu 32:29Heb 10:26-29Isa 48:18Luk 1:77-792Co 6:1-22Co 3:14-162Co 4:3-4Heb 3:15 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.

They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God. 5” Luk 13:34-35Luk 21:61Pe 2:12Jhn 3:18-21Lam 1:8Luk 19:42Mat 23:37-38Dan 9:24
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
(Matthew 21:12–17; Mark 11:15–19; John 2:12–25)
Then Jesus entered the temple courts 6and began to drive out those who were selling there. Mat 21:12-13Mrk 11:15-17Jhn 2:13-17Deu 14:25-26 He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ 7 But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’ 8” Isa 56:7Jer 7:11Ezk 43:12Psa 93:5Mat 23:13Hos 12:7
Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him. Mrk 11:18Mat 26:55Mrk 11:27-33Luk 21:37-38Jhn 10:39Jhn 11:53-57Jhn 18:20Jhn 7:19 Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words. Neh 8:3Act 16:14Jhn 7:46-49Luk 20:19-20Luk 22:2-4Mat 22:15-16
