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 by himself in this manner, 'O God, I give you thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.

18:12. “'I fast twice in a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.'

18:13. “The publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven, but struck his breast, saying, 'O God, be merciful to me a sinner.'

18:14. “I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other, because everyone that exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.”
