14 But G1161 his G846 citizens G4177 hated G3404 him, G846 and G2532 sent G649 a message G4242 after G3694 him, G846 saying, G3004 We will G2309 not G3756 have G2309 this G5126 man to reign G936 over G1909 us. G2248
15 And G2532 it came to pass, G1096 that when G1722 he G846 was returned, G1880 having received G2983 the kingdom, G932 then G2532 he commanded G2036 these G5128 servants G1401 to be called G5455 unto him, G846 to whom G3739 he had given G1325 the money, G694 that G2443 he might know G1097 how much G5101 every man G5101 had gained by trading. G1281
16 Then G1161 came G3854 the first, G4413 saying, G3004 Lord, G2962 thy G4675 pound G3414 hath gained G4333 ten G1176 pounds. G3414
17 And G2532 he said G2036 unto him, G846 Well, G2095 thou good G18 servant: G1401 because G3754 thou hast been G1096 faithful G4103 in G1722 a very little, G1646 have G2192 thou authority G2468 G1849 over G1883 ten G1176 cities. G4172
18 And G2532 the second G1208 came, G2064 saying, G3004 Lord, G2962 thy G4675 pound G3414 hath gained G4160 five G4002 pounds. G3414
19 And G1161 he said G2036 likewise G2532 to him, G5129 Be G1096 thou G4771 also G2532 over G1883 five G4002 cities. G4172
20 And G2532 another G2087 came, G2064 saying, G3004 Lord, G2962 behold, G2400 here is thy G4675 pound, G3414 which G3739 I have G2192 kept laid up G606 in G1722 a napkin: G4676
21 For G1063 I feared G5399 thee, G4571 because G3754 thou art G1488 an austere G840 man: G444 thou takest up G142 that G3739 thou layedst G5087 not G3756 down, G5087 and G2532 reapest G2325 that G3739 thou didst G4687 not G3756 sow. G4687
22 And G1161 he saith G3004 unto him, G846 Out of G1537 thine own G4675 mouth G4750 will I judge G2919 thee, G4571 thou wicked G4190 servant. G1401 Thou knewest G1492 that G3754 I G1473 was G1510 an austere G840 man, G444 taking up G142 that G3739 I laid G5087 not G3756 down, G5087 and G2532 reaping G2325 that G3739 I did G4687 not G3756 sow: G4687
23 Wherefore G1302 then G2532 gavest G1325 not G3756 thou G1325 my G3450 money G694 into G1909 the bank, G5132 that G2532 at my coming G2064 I G1473 might G302 have required G4238 mine own G846 with G4862 usury? G5110
24 And G2532 he said G2036 unto them that stood by, G3936 Take G142 from G575 him G846 the pound, G3414 and G2532 give G1325 it to him that hath G2192 ten G1176 pounds. G3414
25 (And G2532 they said G2036 unto him, G846 Lord, G2962 he hath G2192 ten G1176 pounds.) G3414
26 For G1063 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 That G3754 unto every one G3956 which G3588 hath G2192 shall be given; G1325 and G1161 from G575 him that hath G2192 not, G3361 even G2532 that G3739 he hath G2192 shall be taken away G142 from G575 him. G846
27 But G4133 those G1565 mine G3450 enemies, G2190 which G3588 would G2309 not G3361 that I G3165 should reign G936 over G1909 them, G846 bring G71 hither, G5602 and G2532 slay G2695 them before G1715 me. G3450
28 And G2532 when he had thus G5023 spoken, G2036 he went G4198 before, G1715 ascending up G305 to G1519 Jerusalem. G2414
29 And G2532 it came to pass, G1096 when G5613 he was come nigh G1448 to G1519 Bethphage G967 and G2532 Bethany, G963 at G4314 the mount G3735 called G2564 the mount of Olives, G1636 he sent G649 two G1417 of his G846 disciples, G3101
30 Saying, G2036 Go ye G5217 into G1519 the village G2968 over against G2713 you; in G1722 the which G3739 at your entering G1531 ye shall find G2147 a colt G4454 tied, G1210 whereon G1909 G3739 yet never G3762 man G444 sat: G2523 G4455 loose G3089 him, G846 and bring G71 him hither.
31 And G2532 if G1437 any man G5100 ask G2065 you, G5209 Why G1302 do ye loose G3089 him? thus G3779 shall ye say G2046 unto him, G846 Because G3754 the Lord G2962 hath G2192 need G5532 of him. G846
32 And G1161 they that were sent G649 went their way, G565 and found G2147 even as G2531 he had said G2036 unto them. G846
33 And G1161 as they G846 were loosing G3089 the colt, G4454 the owners G2962 thereof G846 said G2036 unto G4314 them, G846 Why G5101 loose ye G3089 the colt? G4454
34 And G1161 they said, G2036 The Lord G2962 hath G2192 need G5532 of him. G846
35 And G2532 they brought G71 him G846 to G4314 Jesus: G2424 and G2532 they cast G1977 their G1438 garments G2440 upon G1909 G1977 the colt, G4454 and G1977 they set G1913 Jesus G2424 thereon. G1913
36 And G1161 as he G846 went, G4198 they spread G5291 their G846 clothes G2440 in G1722 the way. G3598
37 And when he G846 was come nigh, G1448 even G1161 now G2235 at G4314 the descent G2600 of the mount G3735 of Olives, G1636 the whole G537 multitude G4128 of the disciples G3101 began G756 to rejoice G5463 and praise G134 God G2316 with a loud G3173 voice G5456 for G4012 all G3956 the mighty works G1411 that G3739 they had seen; G1492
38 Saying, G3004 Blessed G2127 be the King G935 that cometh G2064 in G1722 the name G3686 of the Lord: G2962 peace G1515 in G1722 heaven, G3772 and G2532 glory G1391 in G1722 the highest. G5310
39 And G2532 some G5100 of the Pharisees G5330 from G575 among the multitude G3793 said G2036 unto G4314 him, G846 Master, G1320 rebuke G2008 thy G4675 disciples. G3101
40 And G2532 he answered G611 and said G2036 unto them, G846 I tell G3004 you G5213 that, G3754 if G1437 these G3778 should hold their peace, G4623 the stones G3037 would immediately cry out. G2896
41 And G2532 when G5613 he was come near, G1448 he beheld G1492 the city, G4172 and wept G2799 over G1909 it, G846
42 Saying, G3004 If G3754 G1487 thou hadst known, G1097 even G2532 thou, G4771 at least G2534 in G1722 this G5026 thy G4675 day, G2250 the things G3588 which belong unto G4314 thy G4675 peace! G1515 but G1161 now G3568 they are hid G2928 from G575 thine G4675 eyes. G3788
43 For G3754 the days G2250 shall come G2240 upon G1909 thee, G4571 that G2532 thine G4675 enemies G2190 shall cast G4016 a trench G5482 about G4016 thee, G4671 and G2532 compass G4033 thee G4571 round, G4033 and G2532 keep G4912 thee G4571 in G4912 on every side, G3840
44 And G2532 shall lay G1474 thee G4571 even with the ground, G1474 and G2532 thy G4675 children G5043 within G1722 thee; G4671 and G2532 they shall G863 not G3756 leave G863 in G1722 thee G4671 one stone G3037 upon G1909 another; G3037 because G473 G3739 thou knewest G1097 not G3756 the time G2540 of thy G4675 visitation.

Commentary on Luke 19 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 19
In this chapter we have,
Luk 19:1-10
Many, no doubt, were converted to the faith of Christ of whom no account is kept in the gospels; but the conversion of some, whose case had something in it extraordinary, is recorded, as this of Zaccheus. Christ passed through Jericho, v. 1. This city was build under a curse, yet Christ honoured it with his presence, for the gospel takes away the curse. Though it ought not to have been built, yet it was not therefore a sin to live in it when it was built. Christ was now going from the other side Jordan to Bethany near Jerusalem, to raise Lazarus to life; when he was going to do one good work he contrived to do many by the way. He did good both to the souls and to the bodies of people; we have here an instance of the former. Observe,
Luk 19:11-27
Our Lord Jesus is now upon his way to Jerusalem, to his last passover, when he was to suffer and die; now here we are told,
Luk 19:28-40
We have here the same account of Christ's riding in some sort of triumph (such as it was) into Jerusalem which we had before in Matthew and Mark; let us therefore here only observe,
Luk 19:41-48
The great Ambassador from heaven is here making his public entry into Jerusalem, not to be respected there, but to be rejected; he knew what a nest of vipers he was throwing himself into, and yet see here two instances of his love to that place and his concern for it.
