Luke 18:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ The Pharisee stood over by himself and prayed,^[a] “God, I thank you that I am not greedy, dishonest, and unfaithful in marriage like other people. And I am really glad that I am not like that tax collector over there. ¹² I go without eating^[b] for two days a week, and I give you one tenth of all I earn.”

^13 (A) The tax collector stood off at a distance and did not think he was good enough even to look up toward heaven. He was so sorry for what he had done that he pounded his chest and prayed, “God, have pity on me! I am such a sinner.”
