Luke 18:13

---

← Luke 18:12 [words of Jesus]	Luke 18:13 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Luke 18:14 [words of Jesus] →
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.	And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.	I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
