But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.

The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Και ο τελωνης μακροθεν ισταμενος, δεν ηθελεν ουδε τους οφθαλμους να υψωση εις τον ουρανον, αλλ' ετυπτεν εις το στηθος αυτου, λεγων· Ο Θεος, ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω.

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
