Luke 18:9-14
The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 Also He spoke this parable to some e who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 "The Pharisee f stood and prayed thus with himself, g 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men - extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 'I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.' 13 "And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise 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; h for everyone who exalts himself will be 1 humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
