Luke 18 — Context

7

So then, will not God grant the vindication of his elect, who cry out to him day and night? Or will he continue to endure them?

8

I tell you that he will quickly bring vindication to them. Yet truly, when the Son of man returns, do you think that he will find faith on earth?”

9

Now about certain persons who consider themselves to be just, while disdaining others, he told also this parable:

10

“Two men ascended to the temple, in order to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

11

Standing, the Pharisee prayed within himself in this way: ‘O God, I give thanks to you that I am not like the rest of men: robbers, unjust, adulterers, even as this tax collector chooses to be.

12

I fast twice between Sabbaths. I give tithes from all that I possess.’

13

And the tax collector, standing at a distance, was not willing to even lift up his eyes to heaven. But he struck his chest, saying: ‘O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.’
