Luke 19:3 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) [Zacchaeus, v2, RE] was searching (ezētei) to see (idein) the (ton) Jesus (Iēsoun), who (tis) he is (estin).

 

And (kai) [Zacchaeus, v2, RE] could absolutely not empower himself (ouk ēdunato) [to see the Jesus, RE] from (apo) the (tou) crowd (ochlou), because (hoti) the (tē) stature (hēlikia) [of Zacchaeus, v2, RE] was being (ēn) [a] small (mikros) [stature, RE].

 

Luke 19:4 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) [Zacchaeus, v2, ER] having run before (prodramōn) [the Jesus, v3, RE] into (eis) the (to) front (emprosthen), he stepped up (anebē) upon (epi) [a] sycamore tree (sukomorean) in order that (hina) he might see (idē) him (auton), because (hoti) [the Jesus, v3, RE] was being about (ēmellen) to cause himself to come through (dierchesthai).

Luke 19:6 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) [Zacchaeus, v2, ER] having made haste (speusas), he stepped down (katebē).

 

And (kai) [Zacchaeus, v2, ER] caused himself to receive (hupedexato) him (auton), rejoicing (chairōn).

 

Luke 19:7 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) all (pantes) having seen (idontes), they were murmuring through (diegongusan), saying (legontes) that (hoti), “Alongside (para) to [a] sinful (hamartōlō) male (andri) [the Jesus, v5, RE] entered in (eisēlthen) to relax (katalusai)!”

 

Luke 19:8 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) Zacchaeus (Zakchaios) having been caused to stand (statheis), he enunciated (eipen) to (pros) the (ton) lord (kurion), “Behold (idou), the (ta) half (hēmisia) of the (tōn) things being under control (huparchontōn) of me (mou), lord (kurie), I give (didōmi) to the (tois) poor ones (ptōchois)!

 

And (kai) if (ei) I fig informed4811 (esukophantēsa) someone (tinos) of anything (ti), I give away (apodidōmi) [to him, AE] four times more (tetraploun).”

 

(For who was to receive the collections, the gracious abundant sharings, like the collections from the believers in the area of Corinth, see what Christ Jesus and the apostles taught and preached, Mat. 19:20-21, 26:6-13; Mark 10:20-21, 14:3-9; Luke 4:18-19, *14:12-14, 21-22, 18:22, 19:8; John 12:3-8, 13:28-29; Acts 2:44-47; Rom. 15:26; 1 Cor. 13:3, 16:1-2; 2 Cor. 6:10, 8:9, 9:9; Gal. 2:10. )

Luke 19:10 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) the (ho) Son (huios) of the (tou) Mortal (anthrōpou) came (ēlthen) to search for (zētēsai) and (kai) to make whole (sōsai) the (to) [mortal, RE] having been lost (apolōlos).”

 

Luke 19:11 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) of they (autōn) hearing (akouontōn) these things (tauta), he having added (prostheis) [to these things, RE], he enunciated (eipen) [a] parable (parabolēn) through (dia) [the sake, AE] of the (to) Jerusalem (Hierousalēm) to be (einai) near (engus) him (auton), and (kai) of them (autous) to particularly (parachrēma) conclude (dokein) that (hoti) the (hē) Kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tou) God (theou)  <is> about ( mellei) to show up (anaphainesthai).

Luke 19:13 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) [[the] mortal, v12, RE] having called aloud (kalesas) ten (deka) slaves (doulous) of him (heautou), he gave (edōken) to them (autois) ten (deka) minas (mnas), and (kai) enunciated (eipen) to (pros) them (autous), “Cause yourselves to stay busy (pragmateusasthe) in (en) [the time until, AE] which (ho) I cause myself to come (erchomai).”

 

Luke 19:14 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (hoi) citizens (politai) of him (autou) were despising (emisoun) him (auton).

 

And (kai) they sent (apesteilan) [a] senior representative (presbeian) behind (opisō) him (autou), saying (legontes), ‘We absolutely do not desire (ou thelomen) this (touton) [mortal, v12, RE] to be king (basileusai) over (eph’) us (hēmas)!’

 

Luke 19:15 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) it caused itself to come to pass (egeneto) in (en) the (tō) [time, AE] of him (auton) to come upon (epanelthein) [the citizens of him, v14, RE], he having received (labonta) the (tēn) kingdom932 (basileian), he enunciated (eipen) for the (tous) slaves (doulous) also (kai) to be sounded for (phōnēthēnai) to him (autō), for these (toutous) to whom (hois) he had given (dedōkei) the (to) silver (argurion), in order that (hina) he may know (gnoi) what (ti) [they produced, AE] through causing themselves to stay busy (diepragmateusanto).

 

Luke 19:16 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) first (prōtos) [slave, v15, RE] caused himself to come (paregeneto), saying (legōn), ‘Lord (kurie), the (hē) mina (mna) of you (sou) caused itself to work for itself (prosērgasato) for ten (deka) minas (mnas)!’

 

Luke 19:17 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) he enunciated (eipen) to him (autō), ‘Well done (euge), good (agathe) slave (doule)!

 

Because (hoti) in (en) [a] least thing (elachistō) you caused yourself to become (egenou) [a] believable (pistos) [slave, v15, RE], be (isthi) [[a] slave, v15, RE] having (echōn) authority (exousian) over (epanō) ten (deka) cities (poleōn)!'

 

Luke 19:18 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) the (ho) second (deuteros) [slave, v15, ER] came (ēlthen), saying (legōn), ‘The (hē) mina (mna) of you (sou), lord (kurie), made (epoiēsen) five (pente) minas (mnas)!’

Luke 19:20 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) the (ho) other (heteros) [slave, v15, ER] came (ēlthen), saying (legōn), ‘Lord (kurie), behold (idou), [here is, AE] the (hē) mina (mna) of you (sou) which (hēn) I was holding (eichon), causing myself to lay it away (apokeimenēn) in (en) [a] sweat cloth (soudariō)!

 

Luke 19:21 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) I was being made fearful (ephoboumēn) of you (se), because (hoti) you are (ei) [an] austere (austēros) mortal (anthrōpos);

 

you lift142 (aireis) that which (ho) you absolutely did not put in place (ouk ethēkas), and (kai) you harvest (therizeis) that which (ho) you absolutely did not sow (ouk espeiras)!’

 

Luke 19:22 (LIT/UBS4) He says (legei) to him (autō), ‘Out (ek) of the (tou) mouth (stomatos) of you (sou) I shall judge (krinō) you (se), evil (ponēre) slave (doule)!

 

You had seen (ēdeis) that (hoti) I (egō) was (eimi) [an] austere (austēros) mortal (anthrōpos), lifting142 (airōn) that which (ho) I absolutely did not put in place (ouk ethēka), and (kai) harvesting (therizōn) that which (ho) I absolutely did not sow (ouk espeira)!

 

Luke 19:23 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) through (dia) what (ti) [reason, AE] did you absolutely not give (ouk edōkas) the (to) silver (argurion) of me (mou) [to be used, AE] upon (epi) [a] [money changer’s, AE] table (trapezan)!?

 

And I (kagō) having come (elthōn), perhaps (an) I would have habitually practiced (epraxa) [using, AE] it (auto) with (sun) interest (tokō)!?'

 

Luke 19:24 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) to the (tois) [slaves, v15, ER] having stood alongside (parestōsin) he enunciated (eipen), ‘Remove (arate) from (ap’) him (autou) the (tēn) mina (mnan), and (kai) give (dote) [the mina, RE] to the (tō) [slave, v15, ER] having (echonti) the (tas) ten (deka) minas (mnas).”

 

Luke 19:25 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) they enunciated (eipan) to him (autō), ‘Lord (kurie), he has (echei) ten (deka) minas (mnas)!’

But (de) from (apo) the (tou) [slave, v15, AE] not (mē) having (echontos) [more, AE], what (ho) he has (echei) shall be removed (arthēsetai) also (kai).

 

Luke 19:27 (LIT/UBS4) Moreover (plēn), of the (tous) hateful (echthrous) [citizens, v14, RE] of me (mou), the (tous) [citizens, v14, RE] having desired (thelēsantas) of me (me) not (mē) to be king (basileusai) over (ep’) them (autous), lead (agagete) them (autous) here (hodē) and (kai) slaughter them down (katasphaxate autous) in front (emprosthen) of me (mou)!”
