The Holy Bible
Luke 18 : 9 - 14
Chapter 18
| 9 | Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: |
| 10 | "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. |
| 11 | The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, "God, I thank You that I am not like other men--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. |
| 12 | I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.' |
| 13 | And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, "God, be merciful to me a sinner!' |
| 14 | I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." |
