The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
Luke Chapter 18
|
| 18:9 |

|
|
|
| 18:10 |
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. |
|
|
|
| 18:11 |
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. |
|
|
|
| 18:12 |
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. |
|
|
|
| 18:13 |
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. |
|
|
|
| 18:14 |
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. |
