Numbers 19:18 - 20:6

19:18 A clean person will take hyssop and dip it into the water and sprinkle it on the tent and on all the objects and persons who were there, and on one who touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead, or the burial site.
19:19 The clean person will spatter the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he will purify him, and he will wash his garments; he will bathe in the waters, and in the evening he will be clean.
19:20 But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person will be cut off from the midst of the assembly because he defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh; the water of impurity was not sprinkled on him; he is unclean.
19:21 “‘It will be an eternal decree for them. The one who spatters the waters of impurity will wash his garments, and the one who touches the waters of impurity will be unclean until the evening.
19:22 Anything that the unclean person touches will be unclean, and the person who touches it will be unclean until the evening.’”
20:1 Miriam Dies Then the entire community of the Israelites came to the desert of Zin on the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; Miriam died and was buried there.
20:2 There was no water for the community, and they were gathered before Moses and Aaron.
20:3 And the people quarreled with Moses and spoke, saying, “If only we died when our brothers were dying before Yahweh!
20:4 Why have you brought the assembly of Yahweh, us and our livestock, into this desert to die here?
20:5 Why have you brought us from Egypt to bring us to this bad place? It is not a place of seed or figs or vines or pomegranate trees, and there is not water to drink.”
20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of assembly. They fell on their faces, and the glory of Yahweh appeared to them.

Gospel — Luke 19:1-27

LEB translation

Luke 19:1-27

19:1 Jesus and Zacchaeus And he entered and traveled through Jericho.
19:2 And there was a man named Zacchaeus, and he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
19:3 And he was seeking to see Jesus—who he was—and he was not able to as a result of the crowd, because he was short in stature.
19:4 And he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because he was going to go through that way.
19:5 And when he came to the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because it is necessary for me to stay at your house today!”
19:6 And he came down quickly and welcomed him joyfully.
19:7 And when they saw it, they all began to complain, saying, “He has gone in to find lodging with a man who is a sinner!”
19:8 And Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I am giving to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I am paying it back four times as much!”
19:9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham.
19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save those who are lost.”
19:11 The Parable of the Ten Minas Now while they were listening to these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
19:12 Therefore he said, “A certain nobleman traveled to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
19:13 And summoning ten of his own slaves, he gave them ten minas and said to them, ‘Do business until I come back.’
19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to be king over us!’
19:15 And it happened that when he returned after receiving the kingdom, he ordered these slaves to whom he had given the money to be summoned to him, so that he could know what they had gained by trading.
19:16 So the first arrived, saying, ‘Sir, your mina has made ten minas more!’
19:17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very small thing, have authority over ten cities.’
19:18 And the second came, saying, ‘Sir, your mina has made five minas.’
19:19 So he said to this one also, ‘And you be over five cities.’
19:20 And another came, saying, ‘Sir, behold your mina, which I had put away for safekeeping in a piece of cloth.
19:21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man—you withdraw what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow!’
19:22 He said to him, ‘By your own words I will judge you, wicked slave! You knew that I am a severe man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.
19:23 And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, when I returned, would have collected it with interest?’
19:24 And to the bystanders he said, ‘Take away from him the mina and give it to the one who has the ten minas!’
19:25 And they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten minas.’
19:26 ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
19:27 But these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!’”
