ગુજરાતીલૂક ૧૮:૧૧
ફરોશીએ ઊભા રહીને પોતાના મનમાં એવી પ્રાર્થના કરી કે, ‘ઓ ઈશ્વર, બીજા માણસોના જેવો જુલમી, અન્યાયી, વ્યભિચારી અથવા આ દાણીના જેવો હું નથી, માટે હું તમારી ઉપકારસ્તુતિ કરું છું.
हिन्दीलूका १८:११
फरीसी खड़ा होकर अपने मन में यह प्रार्थना करने लगा, ‘हे परमेश्वर, मैं तेरा धन्यवाद करता हूँ, कि मैं और मनुष्यों के समान दुष्टता करनेवाला, अन्यायी और व्यभिचारी नहीं, और न इस चुंगी लेनेवाले के समान हूँ।

In context

9He also spoke 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 by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

12I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’

13But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
