The Pharisee and the Publican.

The Pharisee:

Luke 18:9-12

9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves thatb they were righteous, and despised others:

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 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 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
