========================
Luke 18:9-14
========================
9To some who were confident
of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this
parable:
10“Two men
went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11The Pharisee stood by
himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers,
evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12I fast twice a week and
give a tenth of all I get.’
13“But the tax collector
stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast
and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14“I tell you that this man,
rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves
will be exalted.”
