"Now about certain persons who consider themselves to be just, while disdaining others, he told also this parable: "
— Luke 18:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:”
“And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought: ”
“He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.”
“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.”
“And to some who trusted in themselves as just and despised others, he spoke also this parable:”
“And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:”
“And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:”
Then the Lord said: “Listen to what the unjust judge said.
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?
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?”
Now about certain persons who consider themselves to be just, while disdaining others, he told also this parable:
“Two men ascended to the temple, in order to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
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.
I fast twice between Sabbaths. I give tithes from all that I possess.’
