(Luke
18.9-14)
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which
trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the
one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
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.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of
all that I possess.
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.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house
justified rather than the other: for
every one that exalteth them self shall be abased; and they that humbleth them
self shall be exalted. (Mt. 23.12; Lk. 14.11)
