Luke 18:9-14 And he spake this similitude, against certain persons, who had confidence in themselves that they were righteous, and despised every one.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ And he spake this similitude, against certain persons, who had confidence in themselves that they were righteous, and despised every one. ¹⁰ Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. ¹¹ And the Pharisee stood by himself, and prayed thus: God, I thank thee that I have not been like the rest of men, rapacious, oppressive, and adulterous; nor like this publican. ¹² But I fast twice in a week, and tithe all I possess. ¹³ And the publican stood afar off, and would not even lift his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, and said: God, be merciful to me, a sinner. ¹⁴ I say to you, that this man went down to his house justified, rather than the Pharisee. For every one that exalteth himself, will be humbled; and every one that humbleth himself, will be exalted.
