Luke 18:9-13

Williams(i) 9 To some people who were confident that they themselves were upright, but who scorned everybody else, He told the following story: 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, the other a tax-collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and said this self-centered prayer, 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men, robbers, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax-collector. 12 I fast two days in the week. I pay a tithe on everything I get.' 13 But the tax-collector stood at a distance and would not even lift his eyes to heaven, but continued to beat his breast, and say, 'O God, have mercy on me, a sinner!'
