Luke 18:13

The Parable Of The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

¹² I fast twice per Sabbath. I tithe all things, as many as I acquire. ¹³ But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man. ¹⁴ I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that man. Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.

Be Merciful

Have Mercy

Tax Collector

Be Gracious

Lift Up His Eyes
