Exegesis
The disjunctive ē kai {ἢ καὶ | ē kai} ‘or even’ heightens the contrast, leading to the final comparative hōs hoútos ho telōnēs {ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης | hōs hoû-tos ho te-lō-nḗs} ‘like this tax collector’. The Greek uses participial circumstantial clauses and comparative particles with asyndeton for rhetorical emphasis.
