“Nawaambia, huyu mtoza ushuru alirudi nyumbani akiwa amehesabiwa haki mbele za Mungu zaidi ya yule Farisayo. Kwa maana yeyote ajikwezaye atashushwa, na yeyote ajishushaye atakwezwa.”

I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Context
12Mimi nafunga mara mbili kwa juma, na natoa sehemu ya kumi ya mapato yangu.’ 13“Lakini yule mtoza ushuru akasimama mbali, wala hakuthubutu hata kuinua uso wake kutazama mbinguni, bali alijipigapiga kifuani na kusema: ‘Mungu, nihurumie, mimi mwenye dhambi.’ 14“Nawaambia, huyu mtoza ushuru alirudi nyumbani akiwa amehesabiwa haki mbele za Mungu zaidi ya yule Farisayo. Kwa maana yeyote ajikwezaye atashushwa, na yeyote ajishushaye atakwezwa.” 15Pia, watu walikuwa wakimletea Yesu watoto wachanga ili awaguse. Wanafunzi wake walipoona hivyo, wakawakemea. 16Lakini Yesu akawaita wale watoto waje kwake, akasema, “Waacheni watoto wadogo waje kwangu, wala msiwazuie, kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu ni wa wale walio kama hawa.
