Jesus tells another parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee thanked God for letting him not be like even worse sinners. In contrast, the tax collector asked for forgiveness. Jesus stated that those who humble themselves before God will stand righteous.
This is a good follow-on parable to the one about the people who choose their own seats at the banquet. I think it goes to the similar point, in that God glorifies those who are humble.
