Exegesis
The direct object of eipen appears at the end, ten parabolen tauten {τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην | tḕn pa-ra-bo-lḕn taú-tēn}, “this parable,” with the demonstrative tauten adding deictic emphasis. In translation, the accusative participles are rendered as relative or descriptive clauses to maintain readability while preserving the logical sequence: Jesus directs this specific parable to those whose entrenched self-trust results in disdain for others.
In context — Luke 18:9
And He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous , and despised others.
