Luke 18:9 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that
they were righteous, and despised others:
Luke 18:10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the
other a tax collector.
Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You
that I am not like other men extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax
collector.
Luke 18:12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’
Luke 18:13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise
his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’
Luke 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other;
for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
