A Story Jesus Told
The Pharisee & the Tax Collector
From the Gospel of Luke
Scroll to begin
Two men walked up to the temple to pray. One tall and confident. One small and quiet.
The Pharisee stood at the front, arms raised. "I do everything right," he told God, listing his good deeds.
Far at the back, the tax collector wouldn't look up. "God, have mercy on me — a sinner."
Jesus said: the tax collector went home loved and heard. A humble prayer reaches further than a proud one.
Which man would you
rather be like?
“God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
From Luke, Chapter 18
