Luke 18:1-8 - The Parable Of The Unjust Judge

¹ He also told them a parable about the need of always praying and never losing heart. ² "In a certain town," he said, "there was a judge who had no reverence for God and no respect even for man. ³ And in that town there was a widow who used to go and appeal to him for 'Justice against my opponent!'

⁴ For a while he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, 'Though I have no reverence for God and no respect even for man, ⁵ still, as this widow is bothering me, I will see justice done to her ??not to have her for ever coming and pestering me.'

⁶ Listen," said the Lord, "to what this unjust judge says! ⁷ And will not God see justice done to his elect who cry to him by day and night? Will he be tolerant to their opponents? ⁸ I tell you, he will quickly see justice done to his elect! And yet, when the Son of man does come, will he find faith on earth?"
