Luke 18:12

The Parable Of The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

¹¹ The Pharisee stood up and uttered this prayer to himself: 'O God, I thank you that I am not like other men, greedy, dishonest, or adulterous, like that tax-collector. ¹²  I fast two days in the week; I pay tithes on everything I get.' ¹³ But the tax-collector stood at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven, but struck his breast, and said, 'O God, have mercy on a sinner like me!'
