Luke 18:9-14

9. Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

10.“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

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.

12. ‘I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’

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!’

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.”
