9. 耶稣向那些仗着自己是义人，藐视别人的，设一个比喻，
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10. 有两个人上殿里去祷告：一个是法利赛人，一个是税吏。
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11. 法利赛人站着，自言自语地祷告说：“神啊，我感谢你，我不像别人勒索、不义、奸淫，也不像这个税吏。
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12. 我一个礼拜禁食两次，凡我所得的都捐上十分之一。
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13. 那税吏远远地站着，连举目望天也不敢，只捶着胸说：“神啊，开恩可怜我这个罪人！”
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14. 我告诉你们，这人回家去比那人倒算为义了。因为，凡自高的，必降为卑；自卑的，必升为高。”
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
