Luke 18:10-13 ▼

10 |Two men went up to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, 'O God, I thank you that I'm not like other people—thieves, dishonest people, adulterers, or even this tax collector.

12 I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of my entire income.'

13 |But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even look up to heaven. Instead, he continued to beat his chest and said, 'O God, be merciful to me, the sinner that I am!'
