Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 18:14

_ _ rather than the other — The meaning is, “and not the other”; for the Pharisee was not seeking justification, and felt no need of it. This great law of the Kingdom of God is, in the teaching of Christ, inscribed, as in letters of gold, over its entrance gate. And in how many different forms is it repeated (Psalms 138:6; Psalms 147:6; Luke 1:53). To be self-emptied, or, “poor in spirit,” is the fundamental and indispensable preparation for the reception of the “grace which bringeth salvation”: wherever this exists, the “mourning” for it which precedes “comfort” and the earnest “hungerings and thirstings after righteousness” which are rewarded by the “fullness” of it, will, as we see here, be surely found. Such, therefore, and such only, are the justified ones (Job 33:27, Job 33:28; Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 57:15).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 18:9-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 18:14

This man went down — From the hill on which the temple stood, justified rather than the other — That is, and not the other.
