Luke 18:13 Context
11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himselfe, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publicane. 12I fast twise in the weeke, I giue tithes of all that I possesse. 13And the Publicane standing afarre off, would not lift vp so much as his eyes vnto heauen: but smote vpon his breast, saying, God me mercifull to mee a sinner. 14I tell you, this man went downe to his house iustified rather then the other: For euery one that exalteth himselfe, shall be abased: and hee that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted. 15And they brought vnto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
