Jesus Tells The Story Of The Tax Collector And Pharisee? Luke 18:9-13 (KJV) Verse 9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Verse 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. Verse 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. Verse 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. Verse 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Verse 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. #miraclesofjesus  #parablesofjesus #thetaxcollectorandpharisee
