This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 18:14. Εἰς τὸν οἶκον, to his house [home]) whether in the parable his house be supposed to have been at Jerusalem, or in that locality where the parable was uttered. Comp. as to returning to one’s own house [Mary], ch. Luk 1:56.-ἤπερ ἐκεῖνος) Otherwise it is read ἢ ἐκεῖνος.[202] In either case μᾶλλον is to be understood, as in ch. Luk 15:7; 1Co 14:19. The Pharisee was not justified at all; for he ἐταπεινώθη, was abased.
[202] Tisch. reads ἢ γὰρ ἐκεῖνος, with APQXΔ and later Syr. Cyprian and bc have “magis (omitted by b) quam ille Pharisæus.” Lachm. has παρʼ ἐκεὶνον, with BL Memph. Origen. D has μᾶλλον παρʼ αἰκεῖνον τὀν Φαριοαῖον: and so the Syr. Version; a, “præ illum Pharisæum:” Vulg. “ab illo.”-E. and T.
