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!'
