Synoptic sayings - The Pharisee & the Tax Collector

240	The PHARISEE & the TAX COLLECTOR
Matt	Mark	Luke 18
		9	He also told this parable
			to some who trusted in themselves
			that they were righteous
			and despised others:
		10	"Two men went up into the temple to pray,
			one a Pharisee
			and the other a tax collector.
		11	The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,
			'God, I thank thee that I am not like other men,
			extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
			or even like this tax collector.
		12	I fast twice a week,
			I give tithes of all that I get.'
		13	But the tax collector,
			standing far off,
			would not even lift up his eyes to heaven,
			but beat 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 who exalts himself will be humbled,
			but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
