18:14I tell you that this man went down to his home justified41 rather than the Pharisee.42 For everyone who exalts43 himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Read in Logos
Luke 18:13–14: But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‛God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other…

Footnotes

  1. 41 The prayer that was heard and honored was the one given with humility; in a surprising reversal it was the tax collector who went down to his home justified.
  2. 42 Grk “the other”; the referent (the Pharisee, v. 10) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 43 Everyone who exalts himself. See Luke 14:11. Jesus often called for humility and condemned those who sought honor.
