9 And he spake this parable against some who trusted in themselves that they were just, and despised all (men):

10 Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisha, the other a publican;

11 and, behold, the Pharisha stood (and) within himself these words prayed: Aloha, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious and unjust, and adulterers; nor as this publican.

12 But I fast twice in the week, and tithe whatever I possess.

13 But that publican stood from afar, and would not even his eyes lift up to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Aloha, be merciful to me a sinner!

14 I tell you that this one went down justified to his house, rather than that Pharisha. For every man who exalteth himself shall be humbled, and every one who humbleth himself shall be exalted.
