Manila Bulletin
|October 31, 2025
Jesus was often criticized for eating with tax collectors and sinners, and "the people of the land," that is, Jews whom the Pharisees avoided because they did not practice the Law.

But if Jesus has a certain "preferential option" for the poor, he does not neglect the rich and those held in esteem in society.
In the Gospel, Jesus goes to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees. This means that the host accepts Jesus as a social equal, given the honor ascribed to him by the crowd.
Nonetheless, there are scholars of the Law and Pharisees watching Jesus closely, to see if he observes the social and ritual codes of the meal on the Sabbath.
