إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .14-9:18 
قالَ الربُّ يَسوعُ هذَا المَثَلَ لأُنَاسٍ يَثِقُونَ في أَنْفُسِهِم أَنَّهُم أَبْرَار، وَيَحْتَقِرُونَ الآخَرين
رَجُلانِ صَعِدَا إِلى الهَيْكَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَا، أَحَدُهُما فَرِّيسيٌّ وَالآخَرُ عَشَّار
فَوَقَفَ الفَرِّيسِيُّ يُصَلِّي في نَفْسِهِ وَيَقُول: أَللّهُمَّ، أَشْكُرُكَ لأَنِّي لَسْتُ كَبَاقِي النَّاسِ الطَّمَّاعِينَ الظَّالِمِينَ الزُّنَاة، وَلا كَهذَا العَشَّار
إِنِّي أَصُومُ مَرَّتَينِ في الأُسْبُوع، وَأُؤَدِّي العُشْرَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا أَقْتَنِي
أَمَّا العَشَّارُ فَوَقَفَ بَعِيدًا وَهُوَ لا يُرِيدُ حَتَّى أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلى السَّمَاء، بَلْ كانَ يَقْرَعُ صَدْرَهُ قَائِلاً: أَللّهُمَّ، إِصْفَحْ عَنِّي أَنَا الخَاطِئ
أَقُولُ لَكُم إِنَّ هذَا نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُبَرَّرًا، أَمَّا ذاكَ فَلا! لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَرْفَعُ نَفْسَهُ يُوَاضَع، وَمَنْ يُواضِعُ نَفْسَهُ يُرْفَع

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 5:27-32. 
Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post. He said to him, «Follow me.» 
And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him.
Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were at table with them. 
The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 
Jesus said to them in reply, “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. 
I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.”
