And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
Entonces Jesús estaba cenando en la casa de este hombre, y la mesa estaba llena de cobradores de impuestos y gente que todos los demás consideraban 'mala.' Todos estaban ahí sentados comiendo con Jesús y su grupo, y honestamente, había montones de ellos porque habían comenzado a seguirlo.
Jesús comía con cobradores de impuestos y pecadores, y muchos de ellos lo seguían.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of first-century Judea under Roman rule, publicans were Jewish tax collectors employed by the Romans, often despised as traitors and associated with sinners because they profited from an oppressive system. This scene takes place shortly after Jesus calls Levi, a publican, to be his disciple, and they are now gathered for a meal at Levi's house, which was a common social setting for building relationships. Jesus' association with these outcasts challenged the rigid social and religious boundaries of Jewish society, emphasizing his mission to bring God's message to the marginalized.
