Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Luke
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Luke
019:023 why then did you not put my money into a bank, that when I
came I might have received it back with interest?
019:024 "And he said to those who stood by, "`Take the pound from him
and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
019:025 ("They said to him, "`Sir, he already has ten pounds.')
019:026 "`I tell you that to every one who has anything, more shall
be given; and from him who has not anything, even what he has
shall be taken away.
019:027 But as for those enemies of mine who were unwilling that I
should become their king, bring them here, and cut them
to pieces in my presence.'"
019:028 After thus speaking, He journeyed onward, proceeding up to Jerusalem.
019:029 And when he was come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount
called the Oliveyard, He sent two of the disciples on in front,
019:030 saying to them, "Go into the village facing you. On entering it you
will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden:
untie it, and bring it here.
019:031 And if any one asks you, `Why are you untying the colt?'
simply say, `The Master needs it.'"
019:032 So those who were sent went and found things as He had told them.
019:033 And while they were untying the colt the owners called out,
"Why are you untying the colt?"
019:034 and they replied, "The Master needs it."
019:035 Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their outer
garments on the colt they placed Jesus on it.
019:036 So He rode on, while they carpeted the road with their garments.
019:037 And when He was now getting near Jerusalem, and descending
the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began
in their joy to praise God in loud voices for all the mighty
deeds they had witnessed.
019:038 "Blessed is the King," they cried, "who comes in the name of
the Lord: in Heaven peace, and glory in the highest realms."
019:039 Thereupon some of the Pharisees in the crowd appealed to Him,
saying, "Rabbi, reprove your disciples."
019:040 "I tell you," He replied, "that if *they* became silent,
the very stones would cry out."
019:041 When He came into full view of the city, He wept aloud
over it, and exclaimed,
019:042 "O that at this time thou hadst known--yes even thou--
what makes peace possible! But now it is hid from thine eyes.
019:043 For the time is coming upon thee when thy foes will throw up
around thee earthworks and a wall, investing thee and hemming
thee in on every side.
019:044 And they will dash thee to the ground and thy children within thee,
and will not leave one stone upon another within thee;
because thou hast not recognized the time of thy visitation."
019:045 Then Jesus entered the Temple and proceeded to drive
out the dealers.
