In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, who went home justified before God?
Correct Answer
C) The tax collector who humbly asked for mercy
In Luke 18:13-14, Jesus shares a parable where a Pharisee boasts about his righteousness, while a tax collector humbly prays, "God, have mercy on me, a sinner." Jesus explains that the tax collector, in his humility, was justified before God. This story echoes todayβs theme: true greatness and closeness to God come from a humble and open heart, not pride or position.
