Luke 18:9 In-Context

7 Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help? Will he be slow to help them?
8 I tell you, he will judge in their favor and do it quickly. But will the Son of Man find faith on earth when he comes?"
9 Jesus also told this parable to people who were sure of their own goodness and despised everybody else.
10 "Once there were two men who went up to the Temple to pray: one was a Pharisee, the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood apart by himself and prayed, "I thank you, God, that I am not greedy, dishonest, or an adulterer, like everybody else. I thank you that I am not like that tax collector over there.
