Jesus concluded by saying: “I tell you, This man went down to his home proved more righteous than that man; because everyone that exalts himself will be humiliated, but he that humbles himself will be exalted. ” ​ — Luke 18: 9 - 14.
Jeesus lõpetas oma loo sõnadega: „Ma ütlen teile: see mees läks alla oma koju, olles osutunud õigemaks kui too teine; sest igaüht, kes ennast ise ülendab, seda alandatakse, aga kes ennast ise alandab, seda ülendatakse ”.
