Luke 18. 9 - 14 (NRSVUE)

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous
and regarded others with contempt:  10  “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a
Pharisee and the other a tax collector.  11  The Pharisee, standing by himself, was
praying thus, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues,
adulterers, or even like this tax collector.  12  I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my
income.’  13  But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to
heaven but was beating his breast and saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’  14  I
tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other, for all who exalt
themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”
