Luke 18: 9Jesus told a story to some people who thought
they were better than others and who looked down on everyone else:... 13The
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."
14Then Jesus said, "When the two men went home, it was the
tax collector and not the Pharisee who was pleasing to God.
If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble
yourself, you will be honored." (CEV)
