And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out(A) to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man(B) comes,(C) will he find faith on the earth?”

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

To some who were confident of their own righteousness(D) and looked down on everyone else,(E) Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray,(F) one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself(G) and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast(H) twice a week and give a tenth(I) of all I get.’

13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast(J) and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’(K)

14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(L)
