Background: Zacchaeus was a tax collector. This ancient version of an IRS agent

was hated by his fellow Jews as a cheat, a traitor to the Roman occupiers, and one

who had betrayed God himself. As a Jewish religious leader, it would be unheard of

that someone like Jesus would associate with such a low-life.

6. Who will you tell? With whom will you have a spiritual conversation

about today’s story?

A man was there by the name of Zac-

chaeus; he was a chief tax collector and

was wealthy. He wanted to see who

Jesus was, but being a short man he

could not, because of the crowd. So he

ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-ig

tree to see Him, since Jesus was coming

that way.

to be the guest of such a ‘sinner’

[a terrible person].”

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to

the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I

give half of my possessions to the poor,

and if I have cheated anybody out of

anything, I will pay back four times the

amount.” Jesus said to him, “Today sal-

vation has come to this house, because

this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For

the Son of Man came to seek and to

save what was lost.”

When Jesus reached the spot [near

the sycamore tree,] he looked up and

said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down

immediately, I must stay at your house

today.” So he came down at once and

welcomed Him gladly. All the people saw

this and began to mutter, “He has gone

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a

man named Matthew sitting at the

tax collector’s booth. “Follow Me,” He

told him, and Matthew got up and

followed Him.

On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the

healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

But go and learn what this Scripture

means, ‘I desire mercy, not [animal]

sacriice.’ For I have not come to call the

righteous, but sinners…

While Jesus was having dinner at

Matthew’s house, many tax collectors

and “sinners” came and ate with Him

and His followers. When the Pharisees

saw this, they asked Jesus’ followers,

“Why does your teacher eat with tax

collectors and ‘sinners’?”

“…Come to me all you who are weary

and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew, the tax collector, 9:9-13, 11:28
