In The Pharisee and the Publican, John Bunyan offers a profound reflection on the parable from the Gospel of Luke, where two men—a proud Pharisee and a contrite tax collector—enter the temple to pray. Through this narrative, Bunyan contrasts the self-righteousness of the Pharisee, who boasts of his outward piety, with the humility of the Publican, who recognizes his sinfulness and pleads for divine mercy. Bunyan’s reflection serves as a powerful reminder that true righteousness is not found in works or self-assurance but in humble repentance and faith in Christ alone. How many today, in their pride, continue to trust in their own works for salvation! May they turn from such a wicked and futile pursuit, trusting in Christ’s atoning work for their justification. God, be merciful to me, a sinner!

“He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: ‘Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.'” – Luke 18
