Question

God, Have Mercy on Me, a Sinner

Luke 18:9-14

Key verse 13

“But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

1. Read verses 9-10. To whom did Jesus tell this parable? Who are two men in the parable? Why did two men go up to the temple?

2. Read verses 11-13. How did the Pharisee pray? What does his prayer reveal about his attitude? How and what did the tax collector pray? (13) What does his prayer show about him?

3. Read verse 14. Who was justified by God? Whom does God exalt? How can we become truly humble before God? What can we learn from this parable?
