The Parable of Two Prayers

Summary
This passage compares and contrasts two types of people evidenced in two different prayers. One person is prideful and seeks their source of salvation in their own works and righteousness. The other person is humble and recognizes that they need a merciful savior. This person calls out for mercy and receives far more than he imagined.

A PRIDEFUL PRAYER (THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS)
A HUMBLE PRAYER (THE SINNER)
A PROFOUND PRONOUNCEMENT (THE SAVIOR)
