• Luke 19:2-4…

see him, since Jesus
was coming that
way.

Luke 19:2, Chief Tax Collector
• NAU Luke 19:2 And there was a man called by
the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax
collector and he was rich.
• The word chief indicates that he would have
had other tax collectors under him.
Undoubtedly he would've been very wealthy.

Luke 19:2, Fourfold Restitution
• When theft is involved, Scripture commands a 4 times
repayment. Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment
to bring restitution.
• NAU Exodus 22:1 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep and
slaughters it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for the ox and
four sheep for the sheep.
• Zaccheus had apparently been over taxing people and the Law
required restitution.
• NAU Leviticus 6:5 or anything about which he swore falsely; he
shall make restitution for it in full and add to it one-fifth more…
• Zaccheus went well beyond what was required.
• Exodus 22 is about punishment, for crimes under the Mosaic
Law. Zaccheus was under the Mosaic Law. Exodus 22:7 …if the
thief is caught, he shall pay double.

Everybody Should Get Rich And Famous
• NAU Luke 19:2 And there was a man called by the name of
Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.
• Jim Carrey said, “I think everybody should get rich and famous
and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that
it's not the answer.”
• The Bible indicates many of God's servants were very wealthy.
Vows of poverty are not biblical.
• Genesis 26:12-14…Isaac…continued to grow richer until he
became very wealthy…
• Psalm 49:16-19 Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich…

Vows Of Poverty Are Not Biblical

• NAU 1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when
accompanied by contentment. 7 For we have brought nothing into the world,
so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8 And if we have food and

into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which
plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all
sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith,
and pierced themselves with many a pang.
• 1 Timothy 6:18 …be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,

Wealth Can Be A Temptation
And A Snare
1 Timothy 6:6-11 But godliness actually is a means of great gain when
accompanied by contentment. 7 For we have brought nothing into
the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8 If we have
food and covering, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who
want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish
and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10
For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by
longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced
themselves with many griefs. 11 But flee from these things, you man
of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love,

deposit it in a commercial bank so that it might draw interest. We
thought we had done a thorough job. She seemed to understand and
couldn't wait to open a savings account in our local bank by herself. I
called the banker in our little town and told him our daughter was on
the way to open her savings account. We would stop in later and sign
the necessary papers.
What a thrill! She got the president of the bank himself to wait on
her. She handed over her savings, and he gave her a receipt and

moneychangers, and overturned their tables; 16 and to
those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these

Luke 19:14,
If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah
• “…Jesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews, as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter
the coming kingdom. If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King, there would still have been the
crucifixion, burial, and the resurrection, the ascension, and the seven year Tribulation, ending with Christ’s second coming,
in fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies.
•
• Brace yourself for this next statement:
•
• But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King, there would not have been the body of believers
known as ‘the Church’, nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them, nor the Rapture of the Church, nor the
gospel of grace. Even the gospels would each have been written differently. These were all added because the Jews
largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah.

salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous. 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their
failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be!
•
• The gospel of the kingdom, preached by Christ during His first coming, will be preached again during the coming Tribulation
period, not only to the Jews, but also to the Gentiles (aka ‘nations’; Greek: ethnos), and then Christ will return to establish His

2 Sam.12 Luke 19:2, Fourfold Restitution,
gracethrufaith.com
• Fourfold Restitution?
• Thursday, May 15th, 2014Christian Life
• Q. I noticed something repeated in Scripture. When theft is involved, David mentions a 4 times repayment when being
confronted by Nathan, and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen.
Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular, let alone
quadruple repayment for restitution. So twofold question: what if any is/was the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the
number arbitrary?) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands?
• A. In 2 Sam.12, Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much
worse than steal a sheep. David’s response that a man who steals and slaughters another man’s sheep must repay him with 4
sheep is from Exodus 22:1 where the penalty for such a crime was established.
• In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required
restitution of the overcharge plus a 20% penalty (Lev. 6:2-5). Zaccheus went well beyond what was required.
• In Epesians 4:28 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs, but should find useful work so
they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others.
• While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian, the New Testament doesn’t include any clear
guidelines for doing so. This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim
instead.

70 AD Buried Coins
• On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the Jerusalem–Tel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins. The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CE—the exact year that
the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple. In the midst of this turbulent time, a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeeping.
• “Evidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property, perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the region,” said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavations.
• Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesus’ Parable of the Talents, in which a similar action occurs. The story goes like this:
• “For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. The one who had received the five talents went off at
once and traded with them, and made five more talents. In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
• After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’
• His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’
• And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’
• His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’
• Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you
have what is yours.’
• But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with
interest.
• So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into
the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth’” (Matthew 25:14-30 [NRSV]).
• The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did: bury them in the ground. Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to do.
• A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE, DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEM–TEL AVIV HIGHWAY. © VLADIMIR NIIHIN. ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITY
• What’s interesting, though, is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war. He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Rome’s forces. Judea was falling! In the hope of surviving the calamity, the
owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later time.
• This action helps us understand Jesus’ Parable of the Talents a little better. The dynamic at work in the parable is not merely economic investment, but rather measures taken during a time of war. Let’s unpack this.
• To begin with, let’s notice the context.
• The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesus’ ministry in Matthew’s Gospel.
• On arriving in Jerusalem, Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 21:12–13).
• He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 21:33–46), in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders, who also happened to be wealthy landowners. Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God
would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill him.
• Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 22:15–22). In Roman-occupied Judea, the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue. But using a coin with Caesar’s image on it, Jesus
beats the leadership at their own game. There are economic themes running throughout these incidents, and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nation’s leaders. They were sealing the fate of the nation.
• Finally, Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23). Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24, explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 24:2). The nation was heading for
downfall, and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances. This was the result of their failure—chiefly on the part of the leaders—to acknowledge him.
• The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1–13). Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for what’s to come. And what is to come? The nation’s downfall.
• It is not all dire news, however.
• Throughout the Gospel, Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himself—a remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation. These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom
of God (Matthew 4:17). They listen to Jesus’ words and, as it were, build their house on a rock, rather than on sand (Matthew 7:24–27).
• When the future storm comes to pound the nation, theirs is the house that will survive. The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE, in which the nation fell and its “house” (i.e., the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 23:38).
• In the Parable of the Talents, we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves. If we removed the parable from its context, we might suppose he went on a business trip. But the whole surrounding context is one of
doom.
• It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor. Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable, he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the
nations (Matthew 25:31–32). There is a clear parallel here: just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves, so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations. In both cases, the master figure returns in triumph. By implication, his absence is a time of tension and
uncertainty.
• This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talents.
• He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war. This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CE—the very event Jesus had in mind.
• The slave’s actions in the parable, however, are not just lazy, but also evil (Matthew 25:26). Why? Because he evidently didn’t think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return. If he had thought so, he would have put the money allocated to him to good use
for the sake of his master.
• The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their master’s return—enough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime. Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers. That these two slaves
not only put the money to good use, but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy, but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstances.
• The third slave, however, does no such thing. By burying the money, he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity, surviving his master, and then taking the money for himself. The master’s unexpected return, however, puts paid to this
servants plans, exposing him as a faithless coward. The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed. He is angry because the slave has been disloyal, lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his
absence for personal gain.
• In the larger context of the Gospel, this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leaders—those to whom much was given. They are characterized as disloyal towards God. They had turned the temple, a house of prayer, into a bandit’s lair (Matthew 21:12–13). They failed
to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 21:18–22). They rejected Jesus, the master figure, in order to feather their own nests. This would, however, be a profitless endeavor, for it would end with their demise. Only those who placed their confidence in
Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their master’s joy.
• We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave. Nonetheless, the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun!) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day
and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CE—the very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it.
• Unfortunately, that person never returned.

Luke 19:37, Palm Sunday – Jesus Last Journey,
By Jonathan Lipnick , Holy Land Studies
• Having raised Lazarus, Jesus makes his way down the Mount of Olives
entering Jerusalem on Sunday. We are told that the crowds wave palm
branches and shout “Hosanna!” (Mark 11:9). This is rather odd because it is
happening a week before Passover. In the Jewish tradition the waving of
palm branches and the singing of Hosanna takes place during the autumn
Festival of Booths (Sukkot), not the spring Festival of Passover. The
explanation for this apparent confusion might be found in the original
meaning of the words found in the Gospels. Hosanna comes from the
Hebrew “hoshia-na” meaning “save us, please” found in Psalm 118:25. The
original name of Jesus in Hebrew, Yeshua, is built on the same root: to save.
So the crowds have spontaneously devised a new ritual, welcoming the
messianic savior to Jerusalem using a well-known phrase out of season. The
waving of palm branches in April would have struck bystanders as very odd
until they realized that Hosanna matches the name of Jesus perfectly. It
would then be clear that indeed this is “the one who comes in the name of
the Lord” (Ps 118:26).

Mark 11:1-10, Matt 21:1-11
• Matt 21:1-11
• As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go
to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to
me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away."
• 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
• 5 "Say to the Daughter of Zion,
• 'See, your king comes to you,
• gentle and riding on a donkey,
• on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'"
• 6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on
them, and Jesus sat on them. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees
and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
• "Hosanna to the Son of David!"
• "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
• "Hosanna in the highest!"
• 10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, "Who is this?"
• 11 The crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee."

Palm Sunday – Jesus Last Journey,
By Jonathan Lipnick , Holy Land Studies
• Having raised Lazarus, Jesus makes his way down the Mount of Olives
entering Jerusalem on Sunday. We are told that the crowds wave palm
branches and shout “Hosanna!” (Mark 11:9). This is rather odd because it is
happening a week before Passover. In the Jewish tradition the waving of
palm branches and the singing of Hosanna takes place during the autumn
Festival of Booths (Sukkot), not the spring Festival of Passover. The
explanation for this apparent confusion might be found in the original
meaning of the words found in the Gospels. Hosanna comes from the
Hebrew “hoshia-na” meaning “save us, please” found in Psalm 118:25. The
original name of Jesus in Hebrew, Yeshua, is built on the same root: to save.
So the crowds have spontaneously devised a new ritual, welcoming the
messianic savior to Jerusalem using a well-known phrase out of season. The
waving of palm branches in April would have struck bystanders as very odd
until they realized that Hosanna matches the name of Jesus perfectly. It
would then be clear that indeed this is “the one who comes in the name of
the Lord” (Ps 118:26).

"What is Palm Sunday?”
GotQuestions.org
• Question: "What is Palm Sunday?” http://www.gotquestions.org/Printer/qotw-PF.html
•
• Answer: Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, exactly one week before His
resurrection (Matthew 21:1–11). As Jesus entered the holy city, He neared the culmination of a long journey toward
Golgotha. He had come to save the lost (Luke 19:10), and now was the time—this was the place—to secure that salvation.
Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called “Passion Week,” the final seven days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Palm
Sunday was the “beginning of the end” of Jesus’ work on earth.
• Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives. The Lord sent two disciples ahead into
the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride. They found the unbroken colt of a donkey, just as Jesus had said they
would (Luke 19:29–30). When they untied the colt, the owners began to question them. The disciples responded with the
answer Jesus had provided: “The Lord needs it” (Luke 19:31–34). Amazingly, the owners were satisfied with that answer
and let the disciples go. “They brought [the donkey] to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it” (Luke
19:35).
• As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem, a large multitude gathered around Him. This crowd understood that Jesus was the
Messiah; what they did not understand was that it wasn’t time to set up the kingdom yet—although Jesus had tried to tell
them so (Luke 19:11–12). The crowd’s actions along the road give rise to the name “Palm Sunday”: “A very large crowd
spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road” (Matthew 21:8).
In strewing their cloaks on the road, the people were giving Jesus the royal treatment—King Jehu was given similar honor
at his coronation (2 Kings 9:13). John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 12:13).
• On that first Palm Sunday, the people also honored Jesus verbally: “The crowds that went ahead of him and those that
followed shouted, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David!’ / ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ / ‘Hosanna in the
highest heaven!’” (Matthew 21:9). In their praise of Jesus, the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 118:25–26, an
46

John 12:14 Matthew 21:2 Zechariah 9:9,
Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
• Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of
Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of
Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you;
He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble,
and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the
foal of a donkey.

• A Palm Sunday Question
• Sunday, April 13th, 2014Bible Accuracy
• Holidays
• Q. In John 12:1 it says:”Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany…”, and then verse
12 says, “The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast…” So, according to John 12:1,
Jesus was in Bethany 6 days before the 14th of the month, that is He was there on the 8th of the
month, and the next day is the 9th of the month, the day when the multitude went out to meet Him
and cried out “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!”, and it
was not on the 10th of the month.
• A. We know Jesus entered Jerusalem on Psalm Sunday. John 12:1 says Jesus had come to Bethany
six days before Passover, but it doesn’t say He had a big dinner that same night and left the next
morning. Since Palm Sunday was the 10th, the ninth would have been a Saturday, which was the
Sabbath, and the 8th, the day Jesus arrived, was a Friday. From sunset Friday to sunset Saturday no
work was allowed, and that included travel. Therefore, since the dinner was given on the night
before Palm Sunday, it had to have taken place on Saturday after sunset when the Sabbath ended.
