	bibleteacher.org: John Bunyan, The Pharisee and The Publican
		True, the Publican's leprosy was outward; but the Pharisee's leprosy was inward: his heart, his soul, his spirit, was as foul, and had as much the plague of sin, as had the other in his life or conversation.
		The Pharisee was a sectarian; the Publican was an officer.
		So by publicans and sinners, is meant publicans and such sinners as the Gentiles were; or such as, by the text, the Publican is distinguished from: where the Pharisee saith he was not an extortioner, unjust, adulterer, or even as this Publican.

	The Pharisee & The Publican, by Martin Luther
		For they are no better than the Pharisee, and God will be as merciful to them as to him, so that they do not feel his wrath, and he does not strike with his rod among them to punish them, but lets them continue in their wicked state.
		How is it possible to unite such words of the publican in the face of the law, of your own reason and feelings, which represent nothing else to your heart but wrath and shame.
		For there are many who only consider that the publican as a sinner receives grace and forgiveness, and do not think that God requires that they should forsake sin, and let the grace received be henceforth powerful in their lives.

		The Publican and Pharisee both ran in the race of life, but the one was overcome by foolish pride: He was brought to a shameful shipwreck, while the other was saved by humility.
		The Pharisee spent his life in virtue, and the Publican in sin; but the one was foolishly brought low through his pride, while the other in his humility of mind was raised up to the heights.
		The Publican used humility as a ladder and was raised to the height of heaven; but the wretched Pharisee was lifted by pride onto rotten emptiness, and fell into the trap of hell.

	Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee
		The Publican's cry, 'God, be merciful unto me, a sinner!', is a phrase not uncommon to the Orthodox world.
		Though we may be more familiar with the words of the Publican, we must admit with pained heart that, of the two men, the Pharisee is far more like unto our own selves than the humbled and humble tax collector.

	Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican
		The pharisee sees the publican, and starts his prayer thanking God, which in itself is a good thing, but look at what he's thanking him for.
		He goes on to mention his own good works...that he fasted twice in the week (which was in ADDITION to the requirements of the law, another case of the Pharisees adding to the law and thinking it made them better people) and that he gave his tithes.

	Touchstone Archives: The Prayer of the Publican
		Though found in only one of the Gospels (Luke 18:9–14), the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican was a passage that believers read often, and traditionally they took care to see that it was proclaimed at the celebration of the Holy Eucharist on one Sunday each year.
		Similarly, the humble contrition of the Publican resembles that of the repentant woman in 7:36–50,8 while his gentle confidence in the divine mercy is like that of the chronically bleeding woman in 8:43f.
		Nonetheless, since the image of the Publican at prayer in the temple lies at the historical base of that literature, it may not be inappropriate, as I finish, to comment briefly on the use of the Jesus Prayer in the light of that biblical image.

	Thomas Beswick the London publican
		His age in comparison with Margaret's and the elder children being treated differently is consistent with Thomas the publican being born in 1779 and having died at the end of 1825 aged 46 as recorded in the St Pancras register of burials.
		If there is a connection like this between the publicans Thomas and Jonathan we might have found the parents of Thomas the publican and moved the search back one generation, but that cannot be confirmed until we find a birth for Thomas as the son of Thomas and Jane.
		If Thomas the publican was born in 1779, as we infer from what we believe to be his burial, he would have been only 17 or possibly just 18 when Mary Ann was conceived.
