9. Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else:
10. “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector.
11. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else. For I don’t cheat, I don’t sin, and I don’t commit adultery. I’m certainly not like that tax collector!
12. I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’
