Luke 18:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² I fast twice a week and pay tithes on all my income.’

¹³ “The tax collector, however, stood some distance away and would not even raise his eyes to heaven. Rather, he kept beating his breast as he said, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner.’ ¹⁴ This man, I tell you, returned to his home justified, whereas the other did not. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
