31st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus and the tax collector

First Reading

Wisdom 11:22—12:2

God is merciful because all things were created by God.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 145:1-2,8-9,10-11,13,14

Sing praise to God, who is faithful.

Second Reading

2 Thessalonians 1:11—2:2

Paul tells the Thessalonians to remain faithful to Christ until Christ comes again.

Gospel Reading

Luke 19:1-10

Jesus stays at the house of Zacchaeus, the tax collector.

Background on the Gospel Reading In Jesus' day, tax collectors were not popular people. They were collaborators

with the Romans and were despised by many Jewish people. The tax system

allowed them to charge more than what was required so that they could make

a profit for themselves. Thus, they were considered sinners by their country-

men. Observers in the crowd that day grumble because Jesus dines with a sin-

ner. Throughout Scripture, Jesus' choice of dinner companions set him apart

from other observant Jews of his time. In first century Jewish culture, to dine

together was to show a bond of fellowship and peace among those at the ta-

ble. Observant Jews did not generally dine with foreigners and sinners. Yet,

Jesus chooses to honor the tax collector, Zacchaeus, by staying at his house. Even before Jesus comes to his home, Zacchaeus shows himself to be some-

one in search of salvation. Zacchaeus, described as short in stature, climbs a

tree in order to see Jesus. We know from Luke's description that Zacchaeus

was no ordinary tax collector; he was, in fact, the chief tax collector and a per-

son of some wealth. In his search for salvation, he humbled himself by making a

spectacle of himself by climbing a tree. Jesus recognizes the faith of this tax collector exhibited in his search for salva-

tion and calls him down from the tree. In the hospitality he extends to Jesus

and in his conversion of heart, Zacchaeus is raised up by Jesus as a model of

salvation.
