The Pharisee prays with self-congratulation, thanking God for being unlike other people and listing acts of discipline and giving. The tax collector prays from a distance without lifting his eyes toward heaven, reflecting humility before God. The narrative highlights how confidence in personal good works is contrasted with sincere, humble dependence on God.","135b Two Men Pray  \nLuke 18:9-14  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n135b Two Men Pray  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.
