To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:

Jesus told a story to some people who were sure they were right with God. They looked down on everyone else.

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt:

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else:

Now He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt:

Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else:

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

Jesus also told this parable to some who were confident that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else.

He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

Then he said to them,“ You like to appear righteous in public, but God knows your hearts. What this world honors is detestable in the sight of God.

They are pure in their own eyes, but they are filthy and unwashed.

Yet they say to each other,‘ Don’t come too close or you will defile me! I am holier than you!’ These people are a stench in my nostrils, an acrid smell that never goes away.

So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God by keeping the law, never succeeded.Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law instead of by trusting in him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path.

For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law.

“ Have you been led astray, too?” the Pharisees mocked.“ Is there a single one of us rulers or Pharisees who believes in him?This foolish crowd follows him, but they are ignorant of the law. God’s curse is on them!”

The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer:‘ I thank you, God, that I am not like other people— cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector!

though I could have confidence in my own effort if anyone could. Indeed, if others have reason for confidence in their own efforts, I have even more!I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin— a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law.I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.

When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself,“ If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner!”

At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life,

Then they cursed him and said,“ You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!

The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus,“ And who is my neighbor?”

Hear this message from the Lord, all you who tremble at his words:“ Your own people hate you and throw you out for being loyal to my name.‘ Let the Lord be honored!’ they scoff.‘ Be joyful in him!’ But they will be put to shame.

“ But the Lord said to me,‘ Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles!’”

The people retorted,“ You Samaritan devil! Didn’t we say all along that you were possessed by a demon?”

But the people were displeased.“ He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled.

This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people— even eating with them!

but he replied,‘ All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends.Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!’

“ You were born a total sinner!” they answered.“ Are you trying to teach us?” And they threw him out of the synagogue.
