A Pharisee Lk21 ✭

Luke 18:9–14 9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 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!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

The Pharisee in Luke 21 serves as a warning to all who would claim to be followers of God. Jesus' critique of the Pharisees exposes their hypocrisy and spiritual blindness, revealing the true nature of their religiosity. The Pharisees' downfall serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of external religiosity without a corresponding love for God and others. A Pharisee Lk21

The version of a "Pharisee" scene on LK21, if it exists, will likely be a cam-recorded, low-resolution file with watermarks. This degrades the powerful visual storytelling of the Gospels. Luke 18:9–14 9 He also told this parable

So, how can we apply the lessons of Luke 21 to our own lives? For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
