One of the lesser-known stories in the Bible is the story of Luke 7:1-10. In this story, Jesus visits a man named Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus was a tax collector, which is a type of government official. Tax collectors were often corrupt, and they collected money from people who didn’t have to pay taxes.
Zacchaeus was a greedy man, and he wanted to get closer to Jesus. So, he climbed up a tree to see him better. Jesus was surprised to see Zacchaeus, and he asked him what he was doing. Zacchaeus replied, “Look, Lord, I am a sinful man. I have sinned against God and against you. I am a thief, and I have stolen money from people. I want to give back what I have stolen, and I want to be forgiven.”
Jesus was surprised by Zacchaeus’ confession, and he said, “Today salvation has come to this house. For this reason, I tell you, everyone who enters will be forgiven, including the tax collector.”
Zacchaeus was so happy that he fell down on his knees and thanked Jesus.

Characters Involved
In today’s gospel lesson, we learn about Luke’s encounter with a Samaritan woman at the well. The woman was thirsty and had traveled a long way to find water. Luke was moved by her story and decided to help her. After giving her a drink, he asked her how she was doing. The woman replied, “I am fine, thank you. But how about you? Are you okay?” Luke replied, “I am fine, too. But how about you? Are you sure you are okay?” The woman replied, “I am sure. But how can I be sure when I do not even know where I am?” Luke then told her his story. He had been on a journey and was lost. A Samaritan man had found him and had taken him to his home. The man had also given Luke a drink. Luke said to the woman, “You are like that Samaritan man. You have given me a drink, and I am grateful. But I want to ask you for something more. I want you to tell me your story.” The woman replied, “My story is not very interesting. I just came from a town called Sychar, and I am on my way to a town called Jericho. I am a widow, and I am traveling with my two children. We are all very hungry.” Luke replied, “I am sorry to hear that. I know how it is to be hungry. I have been hungry many times. But tell me, do you have any food with you?” The woman replied, “No, we are all very hungry.” Luke said to her, “Then go and buy some food for yourself and your children. I will wait here for you.” The woman left, and when she came back, she had bought food for herself and her children. She gave the food to Luke, and he ate with her. After he had finished eating, he said to her, “You are a good woman. You have done a good thing by buying food for your children. And I want you to know that you have done a good thing by telling me your story. Now go and be happy.”
Main Points of the Passage
In Luke 7:1-10, Jesus heals a man who was paralyzed from the waist down. The man’s friends and neighbors were amazed at Jesus’ power and asked him to help them too. Jesus said that he could only help those who believed in him. If someone is paralyzed from the waist down, they can’t do anything for themselves, so they need to believe in Jesus to be healed.
