The Parable of the
Pharisee and the
Tax Collector
"Two people went up to the temple area
to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other
was a tax collector. The Pharisee took
up his position and spoke this prayer to
himself, 'O God, I thank you that I am
not like the rest of humanity-greedy,
dishonest, adulterous or even like this
tax collector.
I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes
on my whole income.' But the tax
collector stood off at a distance and
would not even raise his eyes to
heaven but beat his breast and
prayed, 'O God, be merciful to me a
sinner."

that the Pharisee and the Tax collector?
