Luke 18:9-14 - The Parable Of The Pharisee And The Tax Collector
9 He then spoke this illustration to some who trusted in themselves. They were very self-righteous. They looked down on others: 10 Two men went to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a 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 per week. I give 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. 14 I tell you the tax collector and not the Pharisee was right with God when he went home. He who exalts himself will be humbled! He who humbles himself will be exalted!
