The Tax Collector, not the Pharisee, returned home justified.

Update: 2025-10-29

Description

The publican prayed for God's mercy, with humility accepting his state as a sinner. The Pharisee prayed differently by comparing his accomplishments with those of the publican. He justified himself. But in God's eyes, he displeased God. He was pleased with the humble publican.
