"“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector."
— Luke 18:10, NET Bible
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.”

“"Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.”

“Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.”
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.”
Won’t God give justice to his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay long to help them?
I tell you, he will give them justice speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
The Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector Jesus also told this parable to some who were confident that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
The Pharisee stood and prayed about himself like this:‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people: extortionists, unrighteous people, adulterers– or even like this tax collector.
I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of everything I get.’
The tax collector, however, stood far off and would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said,‘God, be merciful to me, sinner that I am!’
