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

¹ And he told them a parable to [show that] they must always pray and not be discouraged, ² saying, "There was a certain judge in a certain town who did not fear God and did not respect people. ³ And there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Grant me justice against my adversary!'

⁴ And he was not willing for a time, but after these [things] he said to himself, 'Even if I do not fear God or respect people, ⁵ yet because this widow is causing trouble for me, I will grant her justice, so that she does not wear me down in the end [by her] coming back!'"

⁶ And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge is saying! ⁷ And will not God surely {see to it that justice is done} to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, and will he delay toward them? ⁸ I tell you that {he will see to it that justice is done} for them soon! Nevertheless, [when] the Son of Man comes, then will he find faith on earth?"
