The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

  9: And He also told this parable to some
       people who trusted in themselves that
       they were righteous, and viewed others
       with contempt:
10: "Two men went up into the temple to
       pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax
       collector.
11: "The Pharisee stood and was praying
       this to himself: 'God, I thank You that
       I am not like other people: swindlers,
       unjust, adulterers, or even like this
       tax collector.
12: 'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes
       of all that I get.'
13: "But the tax collector, standing some
       distance away, was even unwilling to
       lift up his eyes to heaven, but was
       beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful
       to me, the sinner!'
14: "I tell you, this man went to his house
       justified rather than the other; for
       everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
       but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
