6The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7Won`t God avenge his elect, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
9He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
10"Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: `God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12I fast twice in the week. I give tithes of all that I get.`
