“For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect man,
at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.

“The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.
‘I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’
