35
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the
way side begging:
36
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37
And they told
him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38
And he cried, saying, Jesus,
thou
Son of David, have
mercy on me.
39
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he
cried so much the more,
Thou
Son of David, have mercy on me.
40
And Jesus stood, and commanded
him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41
Saying,
What wilt thou
that I shall do unto thee?
And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42
And Jesus said unto
him,
Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43
And immediately he received his sight, and
followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw
it,
gave praise unto God.
CHAPTER 19
And
Jesus
entered and passed through Jericho.
2
And, behold,
there was
a man named Zacchaeus,
which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3
And he sought to see Jesus who he
was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4
And he ran before, and climbed
up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that
way.
5
And when Jesus came to the
place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him,
Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for
to day I must abide at thy house.
6
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7
And when they saw
it,
they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that
is a sinner.
8
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I
give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore
him
fourfold.
9
And Jesus said unto him,
This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also
is a son of Abraham.
10
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11
And
as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and
because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12
He said therefore,
A
certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13
And
he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this
man
to
reign over us.
15
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom,
then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that
he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16
Then came the first, saying, Lord,
thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou
hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18
And the second came,
saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over
five cities.
20
And another came, saying, Lord, behold,
here is
thy pound, which I have kept laid
up in a napkin:
21
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.
22
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth
