Luke 18:9-14 Moreover he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, and looked down upon the rest.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Moreover he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, and looked down upon the rest. ¹⁰ "Two men are going up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a tax-gatherer. ¹¹ "The Pharisee stood apart and thus began to pray by himself. "'O God, I thank thee that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax gatherer; ¹² "'I fast twice a week, I pay tithes of all my possessions.' ¹³ "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God be merciful to me, the sinner!' ¹⁴ "I tell you that this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself shall be humbled; but he who humbles himself shall be exalted."
