Luke 18:12

I fast twice a week, I give a tenth of all I earn.'
[The Jewish custom was to pray standing and pronouncing the words, see Mark 11:25; Matt. 6:5–7. It was common for orthodox Jews to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. The preposition "to" in verse 11 (Gk. pros) can also be translated "about" or "for." It either relates to how he stood or how he prayed. Perhaps he considered himself superior and stood and "prayed for himself." Based on the context and his arrogant prayer, it is more likely that the preposition describes how he prayed. He prayed "about" himself, or even worse, "to" himself by praising his own goodness.]
