The Story of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9

Jesus told a story to some people who were sure they were right with God. They
looked down on everyone else. 10 He said to them, Two men went up to the temple
to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by
himself and prayed. God, I thank you that I am not like other people, he said. I am
not like robbers or those who do other evil things. I am not like those who commit
adultery. I am not even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week. And I give a
tenth of all I get. 13 But the tax collector stood farther away than the Pharisee. He
would not even look up to heaven. He brought his hand to his heart and prayed. He
said, God, have mercy on me. I am a sinner.
14
I tell you, the tax collector went home accepted by God. But not the Pharisee. All
those who lift themselves up will be made humble. And those who make themselves
humble will be lifted up.
