This story told by Jesus contrasts two prayers - one by a self confident religious person and another by a tax collector, presumably who cheated people and certainly was hated by his fellow Jews for collaborating with the Romans. The first person prayed publicly to show off his good deeds. He did not believe he needed forgiveness! The tax collector simply sought mercy from God, admitting he was a sinner.
