Luke 18:9-14
9 Jesus also told this parable to people who were sure of their own goodness and
despised everybody else. 10 “Once there were two men who went up to the Temple to
pray: one was a Pharisee, the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood apart by
himself and prayed‘ I thank you, God, that I am not greedy, dishonest, or an adulterer,
like everybody else. I thank you that I am not like that tax collector over there. 12 I fast
two days a week, and I give you one tenth of all my income.’ 13 But the tax collector
stood at a distance and would not even raise his face to heaven, but beat on his breast
and said, ‘God, have pity on me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you,” said Jesus, “the tax collector,
and not the Pharisee, was in the right with God when he went home. For those who
make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be
made great.”
