To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable — the Pharisee and Tax Collector parable is addressed to the confident-of-their-own-righteousness (tois pepisthumomenois eph' heautois hoti eisin dikaioi, those persuaded about themselves that they are righteous). Who looked down on everyone else (exouthenountas tous loipous, despising the rest): the self-righteousness that produces contempt.
