10 Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a tax-farmer. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, made this prayer: God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of mankind, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or as this tax-gatherer. 12 I keep a fast twice a week, I pay the tenth of all things I possess. 13 And the tax-gatherer standing at a distance, would not even so much as lift his eyes heaven-ward, but smote on his breast, saying, May God accept the atonement for me a sinner!
