And he spake to them a parable, that they must always pray, and not lose courage; Saying, There was a certain judge in a certain city, fearing not God, and not occupied about man: And a widow was in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. read more.
And he would not for a time: and after these he said in himself, And if I fear not God, and am not occupied about man; Yet because this widow produces fatigue to me, I will avenge her, lest in the end, coming, she give me a blow under the eyes. And the Lord said, Hear ye what the judge of injustice says. And shall not God do the avenging of his chosen, crying to him day and night, being slow to anger toward them? I say to you, that he will do their avenging swiftly. But the Son of man having come, shall he find faith upon earth And he spake to certain trusting upon themselves that they were just, and setting at nought the rest, this parable: Two men went up to the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee having stood, prayed these to himself, O God, I return thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or also as this publican. I fast twice of the Sabbath; I pay tithes of all I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not either lift up the eyes to heaven, but struck upon his breast, saying, God propitiate for me the sinful. I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.
