Luke 18:14
This man ( ουτος ). This despised publican referred to contemptuously in verse 11 as "this" ( ουτος ) publican.Rather than the other ( παρ' εκεινον ). In comparison with (placed beside) that one. A neat Greek idiom after the perfect passive participle δεδικαιομενος.
For ( οτ ). This moral maxim Christ had already used in 14:11. Plummer pertinently asks: "Why is it assumed that Jesus did not repeat his sayings?"
