9 And He spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.”
11 “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.'”
12 “I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.”
13 “And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon 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 every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”
The Pharisee and the Tax Collector – (Luke 18:9-14) KJV
