Luke 18:14

The Parable Of The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

¹³ But, the tax-collector, afar off, standing, - would not so much as lift up, his eyes, unto heaven, but kept smiting his own breast saying - O God! be propitiated unto me, the sinner! ¹⁴ I tell you - This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted? ¹⁵ And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.
