Luke 18:9-14
The Pharisee and the tax collector
He also
told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous,
and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray,
one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by
himself, prayed [a] thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like
other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax
collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but
beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you,
this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who
exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be
exalted.”
