Luke 18:12

The Parable Of The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed like this: God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. ¹² I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’ ¹³ But the tax collector stood far away and would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven. He beat his breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner.
