The answer is: A publican

Luke 18:10-14 - This parable highlights the contrast between self-righteousness and humility in prayer. The Pharisee’s arrogance reflects a common criticism Jesus had for religious leaders, while the publican's repentance exemplifies true humility. Interestingly, tax collectors were often despised, yet they found favour in God's eyes, underscoring His mercy.
