Luke 19: 1-10 - 'Salvation comes to the house of Zacchaeus.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 2412 (In 'Respect for the Goods of Others') - In virtue of commutative justice, reparation for injustice committed requires the restitution of stolen goods to their owner: Jesus blesses Zacchaeus for his pledge: “If I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” Those who, directly or indirectly, have taken possession of the goods of another, are obliged to make restitution of them, or to return the equivalent in kind or in money, if the goods have disappeared, as well as the profit or advantages their owner would have legitimately obtained from them. Likewise, all who in some manner have taken part in a theft or who have knowingly benefited from it—for example, those who ordered it, assisted in it, or received the stolen goods—are obliged to make restitution in proportion to their responsibility and to their share of what was stolen.

- 588 (In 'Jesus & The Temple') - Jesus scandalized the Pharisees by eating with tax collectors and sinners as familiarly as with themselves. Against those among them “who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others,” Jesus affirmed: “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”(abbreviated)

- 549 (In 'The Signs of the Kingdom of God') - By freeing some individuals from the earthly evils of hunger, injustice, illness, and death, Jesus performed messianic signs. Nevertheless he did not come to abolish all evils here below, but to free men from the gravest slavery, sin, which thwarts them in their vocation as God’s sons and causes all forms of human bondage.

- 2712 (In 'Contemplative Prayer') - Contemplative prayer is the prayer of the child of God, of the forgiven sinner who agrees to welcome the love by which he is loved and who wants to respond to it by loving even more.” (abbreviated)

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Logical Bible Study podcast. Our goal here is to produce a podcast
0:17.0	that you can listen to before or after daily mass that helps you understand the daily
0:22.4	gospel readings. So we're doing a verse by verse exegesis of the literal sense of scripture.
0:28.4	What does it mean in its original context? Today, if you go to mass, you would hear from Luke
0:32.8	chapter 19 verses 1 to 10. And it's the famous story of Zechias. So let's see if we can learn some new things
0:41.4	from the Zakias story. Here's the text. Jesus entered Jericho and was going through the town
0:47.6	when a man whose name was Zakias made his appearance. He was one of the senior tax collectors and a wealthy man. He was anxious to see what
0:57.9	kind of man Jesus was, but he was too short and could not see him for the crowd. So he ran ahead and
1:05.1	climbed a sycamore tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus, who was to pass that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and spoke to him.
1:14.5	Zakias, come down.
1:17.1	Hurry, because I must stay at your house today.
1:20.9	And he hurried down and welcomed him joyfully.
1:24.3	They all complained when they saw what was happening.
1:27.9	He has gone to stay at a sinner's house, they said.
1:31.6	But Sechias stood his ground and said to the Lord,
1:35.1	Look, sir, I am going to give half my property to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody,
1:42.0	I will pay him back four times the amount. And Jesus said to him,
1:47.4	today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a son of Abraham. For the son of man
1:54.4	has come to seek out and save what was lost. So what's the context here?
2:02.6	At this point in his ministry, Jesus is moving from Galilee to Jerusalem.
2:06.6	He's getting ready for the final week of his life.
2:08.6	And as he moves towards Jerusalem, he stops and does ministry along the way.
