The Pharisee and the Publican by John Bunyan (Audiobook)

​In "The Pharisee and the Publican," John Bunyan presents a profound exploration of the parable from the Gospel of Luke, where two men—a self-assured Pharisee and a remorseful tax collector—enter the temple to pray. Through this narrative, Bunyan delves into the contrasting attitudes of these individuals: the Pharisee, who prides himself on his outward displays of piety, and the Publican, who humbly acknowledges his shortcomings and seeks divine mercy. Bunyan's insightful analysis challenges readers to reflect on the nature of true righteousness, the perils of self-righteousness, and the transformative power of genuine repentance. Oh, how many people are sadly trying to save themselves! May they repent of such a wicked thing as works-based salvation and trust in Christ alone! God, have mercy on me, the 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 18Paperback: https://amzn.to/3DqsoZ7(0:00) Part 1(1:33:24) Part 2
