The Greek word used here, "τινας" (tinas), suggests a particular group rather than a general audience. Historically, Jesus often spoke directly to the Pharisees and religious leaders, who were known for their self-righteous attitudes. This sets the stage for a teaching moment aimed at those who were confident in their own moral standing. who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt He also told this parable The "certain which trusted" are not specified as being actually Pharisees, and included, we may believe, disciples in whom the Pharisee temper was gaining the mastery, and who needed to be taught as by a reductio ad absurdum, what it naturally led to. Despised others.--Literally, the rest--viz., all others. The word for "despise," literally, count as nothing, is again one of those which St. Luke has, and the other Evangelists have not (that in Mark 9:12 differs in form), but which is frequent in the vocabulary of St. Paul (Romans 14:3; Romans 14:10; 1Corinthians 16:11, et al.). This universal depreciation of others would seem almost an exaggeration, if experience did not show--e.g., as in the history of Montanism and analogous forms of error--how easily men and women, religious societies and orders, drift into it, and how hard it is to set any limits to the monomania of egotism--above all, of religious egotism.

Verse 9. - And he spake this parable. With this parable, "the Pharisee and the publican," St. Luke concludes his memories of the last journeyings toward Jerusalem. The incidents which directly follow took place close to Jerusalem; and here St. Luke's narrative rejoins that of SS. Matthew and Mark. No note of time or place assists us in defining exactly the period when the Master spoke this teaching; some time, however, in these last journeyings, that is, in the closing months of the public ministry, the parable in question was certainly spoken.Parallel Commentaries ...
