18:9 耶稣向那些仗着自己是义人，藐视别人的，设一个比喻，
18:9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable:
18:10 说：“有两个人上殿里去祷告；一个是法利赛人，一个是税吏。
18:10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
18:11 法利赛人站着，自言自语地祷告说：‘ 神啊，我感谢你，我不象别人勒索、不义、奸淫，也不象这个税吏。
18:11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men–robbers, evildoers, adulterers–or even like this tax collector.
18:12 我一个礼拜禁食两次，凡我所得的，都捐上十分之一。’
18:12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
18:13 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！’
18:13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
18:14 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。”
18:14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” (The Little Children and Jesus )
