Luke 18:9-13

One was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank thee that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, cheats, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all I get.' 13 But the tax collector stood far off and would not even lift his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God be merciful to me, the sinner!'
