And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
Trusted in themselves - faith in their ability
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; But the Lord weigheth the spirits.
Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: But a faithful man who can find?
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: But the Lord pondereth the hearts.
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, And yet is not washed from their filthiness.
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Despised others -
Luke 18–24: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary The Comprehensive Audience
Exoutheneō (contempt) means “to despise,” “to treat as if of no account,” “to consider worthless or of no value.” In its only other use in the Gospels, it describes the mocking treatment Jesus received at the hands of Herod and his soldiers (Luke 23:11). In Acts 4:11, Peter used it to describe the Jewish authorities’ contemptuous rejection of Jesus.
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Two men - Two ways
Wide broad road or strait and narrow path
Good treasure and evil treasure
Light and dark
Sheep and goats
Goats and sheep
Good fish and bad fish
Good tree and bad tree
Good fruit and bad fruit
Two sons
heaven and hell
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Luke 18:11
“Stood to pray” - position of prayer that brought attention to himself
“with himself” - God wasn’t even there.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
He declared his own righteousness.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Beat his breast - I need help getting this right.
“God be merciful to me a sinner”
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
For all those things hath mine hand made, And all those things have been, saith the Lord: But to this man will I look, Even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, And trembleth at my word.
And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn unto the Lord your God: For he is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness, And repenteth him of the evil.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Justified - counted as having no sin.
humility -
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
