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

¹ He also taught them by a parable how they ought always to pray and never to lose heart. ² "There was a certain town," he said, "a judge who had neither reverence for God, nor respect for man. ³ "In that same town there was a widow who came again and again before him, saying, "'Do for me the justice of my adversary.'

⁴ "For a while he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, 'Though I have neither reverence for God nor regard for man, ⁵ "'yet because this woman annoys me I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out.'

⁶ "Listen" said the Lord, "to what this unjust judge says. ⁷ "And will not God see justice done to his elect who are crying unto him day and night, even if he seems to delay helping them? ⁸ "I tell you that he will quickly see justice done to his elect! Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith upon the earth?"
