Luke 18:8-14

⁸Sotheli Y seie to you, for soone he schal do veniaunce of hem. Netheles gessist thou, that mannus sone comynge schal fynde feith in erthe?

⁹And he seide also to sum men, that tristiden in hem silf, as thei weren riytful, and dispiseden othere, this parable,

¹⁰seiynge, Twei men wenten vp in to the temple to preye; the toon a Farisee, and the tother a pupplican.

¹¹And the Farisee stood, and preiede bi hym silf these thingis, and seide, God, Y do thankyngis to thee, for Y am not as other men, raueinouris, vniust, auoutreris, as also this pupplican;

¹²Y faste twies in the woke, Y yyue tithis of alle thingis that Y haue in possessioun.

¹³And the pupplican stood afer, and wolde nether reise hise iyen to heuene, but smoot his brest, and seide, God be merciful to me, synnere.

¹⁴Treuli Y seie to you, this yede doun in to his hous, and was iustified fro the other. For ech that enhaunsith hym, schal be maad low, and he that mekith hym, schal be enhaunsid.
