Luke 18:10-13 ▼

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee standing was praying in these words, God, I thank thee because I am not like the rest of the men, extortioners, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican:

12 I fast twice per week; I give tithes of all things so many as I possess.

13 But the publican, standing a great way off, did not wish even to lift up his eyes to the heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me the sinner.
