And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Mientras tanto, el cobrador de impuestos se quedó muy atrás, ni siquiera podía mirar hacia el cielo. Se golpeaba el pecho y decía: 'Dios, ten misericordia de mí, que soy pecador.'
El cobrador de impuestos reconoció humildemente sus pecados y pidió la misericordia de Dios.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century under Roman rule, publicans were Jewish tax collectors who worked for the occupying forces, often seen as traitors and sinners by their fellow Jews due to their reputation for extortion and dishonesty. Jesus shared this parable in Luke 18 to contrast the self-righteous Pharisee with the humble tax collector, teaching that God values a repentant heart over outward religious displays. This story was aimed at those who trusted in their own righteousness and looked down on others, highlighting the essence of true humility in approaching God.
