📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century AD, during the Roman occupation of Judea, tax collectors known as publicans were Jews who worked for the Romans to collect taxes, often enriching themselves through dishonest practices like overcharging, which made them deeply despised by their fellow Jews. Zacchaeus, as the chief publican in Jericho, represented this controversial role, highlighting the social and economic divides of the time. This verse sets the stage for Jesus' encounter with him, illustrating how Jesus reached out to societal outcasts.
