Luke Chapter 18

Luke 18:8

luk 18:8

faith

The reference is not to personal faith, but to belief in the whole body of revealed truth.

Compare (Rom 1:5); (Co1 16:13); (Co2 13:5); (Col 1:23); (Col 2:7); (Tit 1:13); (Jde 1:3).

See "Apostasy," above, in margin reference of (Luk 18:8).

(See Scofield) - (Ti2 3:1).

Son of man

(See Scofield) - (Mat 8:20).

Luke 18:9

luk 18:9

righteous

(See Scofield) - (Rom 10:3).

Luke 18:13

luk 18:13

merciful

Greek, "hilaskomai", used in the Septuagint and New Testament in connection with the mercy-seat (Exo 25:17); (Exo 25:18); (Exo 25:21); (Heb 9:5). As an instructed Jew, the publican is thinking, not of mere mercy, but of the blood-sprinkled mercy seat.

(See Scofield) - (Lev 16:5).

"Propitiation,"

(See Scofield) - (Rom 3:25).

His prayer might be paraphrased, "Be toward me as thou are when thou lookest upon the atoning blood." The Bible knows nothing of divine forgiveness apart from sacrifice.

(See Scofield) - (Mat 26:28).

That is, propitiated.
