| NET © Notes |
1 sn 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 tn Grk “the other”; the referent (the Pharisee, v. 10) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 3 sn Everyone who exalts himself. See Luke 14:11. Jesus often called for humility and condemned those who sought honor. |
