Luke 18:9 - 14
18:9 -
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous,
and despised others:
18:10 -
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
18:11 -
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other
men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
18:12 -
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
18:13 -
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but
smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
18:14 -
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that
exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
