He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt:(Luke 18:9 ESV)
Luke's transition to this next parable is interesting. Notice he does not say Jesus addressed the Pharisees, which he often did. He does not want to leave out any of us who are not technically "Pharisees", but to whom this may apply. Do I trust in myself, and therefore not pray continually? Do I treat others as "less" spiritually, and pray as if they are the problem, not me?
