Luke 18:1-5
Parables on Prayer
1 Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they (A)ought to pray and not to (B)lose heart,
2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not (C)respect man.
3 There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘(a)Give me legal protection from my opponent.’
4 For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor (D)respect man,
5 yet (E)because this widow bothers me, I will (b)give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will (c)(F)wear me out.’”
