Settings

4 "For a while he was unwilling *; but afterward * he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God nor 1respect man,
5 yet 2because this widow bothers * me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise * by continually * coming she will 3wear me out.' "
6 And 4the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said;
7 now, will not God 5bring about justice for His 6elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He 7delay long over them?
8 "I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, 8will He find faith on the earth?"

The Pharisee and the Publican

9 And He also told this parable to some people who 9trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and 10viewed others with contempt:
10 "Two men 11went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 "The Pharisee 12stood and was praying this to himself: 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 'I 13fast twice a week; I 14pay tithes of all that I get.'
13 "But the tax collector, 15standing some distance away, 16was even unwilling * to lift up his eyes to heaven, but 17was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'
14 "I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; 18for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
