9And He alsoG2532 toldG3004 thisG3778 parableG3850 to someG5100 peopleG5100 who 1trustedG3982 in themselvesG1438 that they were righteousG1342, and 2viewedG1848 othersG3062 with contemptG1848: 10“TwoG1417 menG444 3wentG305 up into the templeG2413 to prayG4336, oneG1520 a PhariseeG5330 and the otherG2087 a taxG5057 collectorG5057. 11The PhariseeG5330 4stoodG2476 and was prayingG4336 thisG3778 to himselfG1438: ‘GodG2316, I thankG2168 You that I amG1510 not likeG5618 otherG3062 peopleG3062: swindlersG727, unjustG94, adulterersG3432, orG2228 evenG2532 likeG5613 thisG3778 taxG5057 collectorG5057. 12I 5fastG3522 twiceG1364 a weekG4521; I 6payG586 tithesG586 of allG3956 that I getG2932.’ 13But the taxG5057 collectorG5057, 7standingG2476 someG3113 distanceG3113 awayG3113, 8was evenG3761 unwillingG3756G2309 to liftG1869 up his eyesG3788 to heavenG3772, but 9was beatingG5180 his breastG4738, sayingG3004, ‘GodG2316, be 10mercifulG2433 to me, the sinnerG268!’ 14I tellG3004 you, thisG3778 manG3778 wentG2597 to his houseG3624 justifiedG1344 ratherG3844 thanG3844 the otherG1565; 11for everyoneG3956 who exaltsG5312 himselfG1438 will be humbledG5013, but he who humblesG5013 himselfG1438 will be exaltedG5312.”
