The Pharisee and the Publican

Saint Luke - Chapter 18

The Pharisee and the Publican. J-J Tissot

[9] Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam :
And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:

[10] Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent : unus pharisaeus et alter publicanus.
Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

[11] Pharisaeus stans, haec apud se orabat : Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum : raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus :
The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.

[12] jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quae possideo.
I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.

[13] Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad caelum levare : sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens : Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.

[14] Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo : quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
