The Parable of the pharisee and the tax collector?

The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector is found in Luke 18:9-14).18:9-12

The parable is addressed to people who pride themselves on being righteous, and who despise all others as inferior. By labeling the first man as a Pharisee, Jesus did not leave any doubt as to the particular class of people He was addressing. Although the Pharisee went through the motions of prayer, he was really not speaking to God. He was rather boasting of his own moral and religious attainments. Instead of comparing himself with God's perfect standard and seeing how sinful he really was, he compared himself with others in the community and prided himself on being better. His frequent repetition of the personal pronoun I reveals the true state of his heart as conceited and self-sufficient.

Luke 18:13 The tax collector was a striking contrast. Standing before God, he sensed his own utter unworthiness. He was humbled. He would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast and cried to God for mercy: "God be merciful to me a sinner!"

Luke 18:14 Jesus reminded His hearers that it is this spirit of self-humiliation and repentance that is acceptable to God. Contrary to what human appearances might indicate, it was the tax collector who went down to his house justified. God exalts the humble, but He humbles those who exalt themselves.
