Luke 18:14

The Parable Of The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

¹³ But the tax collector, standing far away, did not want even to raise his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' ¹⁴ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that one! For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted." ¹⁵ Now they were bringing even [their] babies to him so that he could touch them. But [when] the disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
