dby - Luke:18:9-14

dby@Luke:18:9 @ And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest [of men], this parable:

dby@Luke:18:10 @ Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.

dby@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

dby@Luke:18:12 @ I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.

dby@Luke:18:13 @ And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.

dby@Luke:18:14 @ I say unto you, This [man] went down to his house justified rather than that [other]. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
