9 And he spake this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others.

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed thus, God I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

12 I fast twice in the week: I give tythes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
