Chapter 19
Luke OrthJBC 19:1  And having entered, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was passing through Yericho.
Luke OrthJBC 19:2  And, hinei, a man by name Zakkai was there and he was a chief moches (tax-collector) and he was wealthy.
Luke OrthJBC 19:3  And he was seeking to catch a look at Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach and was not able because of the multitude, and because in stature he was short.
Luke OrthJBC 19:4  And having run ahead to the front, he climbed up onto an aitz (tree), a sycamore, that he might see Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because by that derech (way) he was about to pass by. [Melachim Alef 10:27, Divrey Hayamim Alef 27:28, Yeshayah 9:10]
Luke OrthJBC 19:5  And as he came to the place, having looked up, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, "Zakkai, hurry and come down, for hayom in your bais it is necessary for me to remain."
Luke OrthJBC 19:6  And having hurried, he came down and welcomed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with simcha.
Luke OrthJBC 19:7  And everyone, having seen this, were beginning to kvetsh (complain), saying, "With a choteh he entered to rest."
Luke OrthJBC 19:8  And Zakkai stood there and said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu, "Hinei, half of my possessions, Adoni, I give as tzedakah to the aniyim, and if from someone I defrauded of anything I am paying back arbatayim (four times)." [Shemot 22:1, Vayikra 6:4,5; Bamidbar 5:7; Shmuel Bais 12:6; Yechezkel 33:14,15]
Luke OrthJBC 19:9  And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, "Hayom Yeshu'at Eloheinu has come to this bais, because also he is a Ben Avraham."
Luke OrthJBC 19:10  "For the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, Daniel 7:13-14) came to seek and to save the lost." [Yechezkel 34:12,16]
Luke OrthJBC 19:11  Now as they were hearing these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach added a mashal (parable), because he was near to Yerushalayim and they had the havamina (assumption) that the Malchut Hashem was about to appear immediately.
Luke OrthJBC 19:12  Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "A certain man of noble birth traveled to a distant country to get for himself royal power for his malchut and to return.
Luke OrthJBC 19:13  "And having summoned aseret avadim of his, he gave them asarah minas and he said to them, `Conduct esek (business) until I come.'
Luke OrthJBC 19:14  "But his subjects were hating him and they sent a delegation after him saying, `We do not want this one to rule over us.'
Luke OrthJBC 19:15  "And it came about when he returned, having received the royal power of his malchut, he summoned to his presence these avadim to whom he had given the kesef, that he might have da'as of what they had gained by trading.
Luke OrthJBC 19:16  "And having come, the rishon (first) saying, `Adoni, with your mina asarah minas more were gained.'
Luke OrthJBC 19:17  `Yafeh asita, Eved tov, because you have been ne'eman in a very small thing, have shlita (authority) over eser shtetlach.' [Mishle 27:18]
Luke OrthJBC 19:18  "And the sheni (second) came saying, `Your mina, Adoni, made chamash minas.'
Luke OrthJBC 19:19  "And he said also to this one, `And you have shlita over chamash shtetlach.'
Luke OrthJBC 19:20  "And the other came saying, `Adoni, hinei! Your mina which I had put away in a servetke (napkin).
Luke OrthJBC 19:21  `For I was fearing you, because you are a big machmir (stickler), you take what you did not deposit and you reap what you did not sow.'
Luke OrthJBC 19:22  "He says to him, `From your own mouth I will judge you, eved rasha. You had da'as that I am a big machmir (stickler), taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
Luke OrthJBC 19:23  `Why did you not then put my kesef into the bank? Then when I came I would have collected ribit (interest).'
Luke OrthJBC 19:24  "And to the ones having stood nearby he said, `Take from him the mina and give it to the one having asarah minas.'
Luke OrthJBC 19:25  "And they said to him, `Adoneinu, he has asarah minas!'
Luke OrthJBC 19:26  `I say to you that to everyone having, more will be given, but from the one not having, even what he has will be taken away.
Luke OrthJBC 19:27  `But these oyevim of me, the ones not wanting me to have the shlita over them, bring them here and execute them before me.'"
Luke OrthJBC 19:28  And having said these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was traveling ahead making his aliyah leregel to Yerushalayim. REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO YERUSHALAYIM (MT 21:1-11; MK 11:1-10; LK 19:28-38; JO 12:12-16; ZECH. 14:4)
Luke OrthJBC 19:29  And it came about as he came near to Beit-Pagey and Beit-Anyah to the Mount of Olives, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent shnayim of the talmidim
Luke OrthJBC 19:30  saying, "Go to the shtetl ahead of you, in which entering you will find an AYIR having been tied, upon which none among bnei Adam ever sat, and having untied it, bring it here.
Luke OrthJBC 19:31  "And if someone asks you, `Why are you untying it?' you will say this, `Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu has need of it.'
Luke OrthJBC 19:32  And having departed, the ones having been sent found it just as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach told them.
Luke OrthJBC 19:33  And while untying the AYIR, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the AYIR?"
Luke OrthJBC 19:34  And they said, "Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu has need of it."
Luke OrthJBC 19:35  And they led it to him and, having thrown their kaftans on the AYIR, they put Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach on it.
Luke OrthJBC 19:36  And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach rode along, the people were spreading their garments on the road. [Melachim Bais 9:13]
Luke OrthJBC 19:37  And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was now approaching the path that makes the descent from the Mount of Olives, all the multitude of the Rebbe's talmidim began with simcha to shout "Baruch Hashem!" with a kol gadol for all the nifla'ot and gevurot Hashem of which they had been edey re'iyah (eyewitnesses)
Luke OrthJBC 19:38  saying, "BARUCH HABAH, HaMelech B'SHEM ADONOI! Shalom b'Shomayim! And kavod in the Highest!" [Tehillim 118:26]
Luke OrthJBC 19:39  And some of the Perushim from the multitude said to him, "Rabbi, rebuke your talmidim!"
Luke OrthJBC 19:40  And in reply Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "I say to you if these will be silent, the avanim (stones) will cry out." [Chabakuk 2:11]
Luke OrthJBC 19:41  And as he came near, having seen the Ir, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach wept over it, [Yeshayah 22:4]
Luke OrthJBC 19:42  saying. "If you had only had da'as in HaYom HaZeh of the things leading to shalom, but now it was nistar (concealed) from your eyes.
Luke OrthJBC 19:43  "Because yamim will come upon you and your oyevim will construct a siege against you and they will surround you and will hem you in from all directions. [Yeshayah 29:3; Yirmeyah 6:6; Yechezkel 4:2; 28:6]
Luke OrthJBC 19:44  And they will dash you to the ground and your yeladim with you, and they will not leave an even (stone) upon an even (stone) within you, because you did not have da'as of the zman of your pekuddat (visitation)." [Tehillim 137:9] REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH CLEANSES THE BEIS HAMIKDASH--THE AITZ TE'ENAH IS CURSED (MT 21:18-19; MT 11:12-18; LK 19:45-48)
Luke OrthJBC 19:45  And having entered into the Beis HaMikdash, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach began to throw out the sellers,
Luke OrthJBC 19:46  saying to them, "It has been written, BEITI BEIT TEFILLAH YIKAREI, but you made it a ME'ARAT PARITZIM. [Yeshayah 56:7; Yirmeyah 7:11]
Luke OrthJBC 19:47  And he was saying shiurim yom yom in the Beis Hamikdash. But the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were seeking to kill him and also the Rashei HaAm,
Luke OrthJBC 19:48  and they were not finding what they might do, for HaAm were all hanging on his every word.
