Bible version

[edit]

Please don't change the version of the scripture text and especially not to KJV again. NIV is a popular modern English translation that's approved by most mainline Protestant denominations and the Catholic church. It's easier to understand for those not familiar with the subject which falls inline with the purpose of Wikipedia. The reference links to a site that offers around 50 different translations including KJV. CJ 13:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can we not also change the name of the page to 'Pharisee and Tax Collector'? The term 'publican' is only used in the KJV, and it means the owner of a pub (public house) in contemporary English, though, even then, it is near obsolete. Martin Turner (talk) 12:50, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Illustrations

[edit]

Can we please lose the two embarrassingly bad illustrations, which add nothing to the article? PhilG (talk) 20:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! -- Radagast3 (talk) 08:12, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've replaced them by two better ones. -- Radagast3 (talk) 03:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Humility

[edit]

Shouldn't this at the very least explain what this story is about? --OxAO (talk) 04:09, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Commentary

[edit]

The commentary section seems to have someone's own personal commentary added into it which disparages the other two which were cited. Team tyn (talk) 10:07, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
