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

¹ Now He told them the following story to show how necessary it is for people always to pray and never to give up: ² "Once there was in a city a judge who had no reverence for God nor respect for men. ³ And in that city there was a widow who continued to come to him and say, 'Give me justice and protection from my opponent.'

⁴ And he would not for a time, but afterward he said to himself, Though I have no reverence for God nor respect for men, ⁵ yet because this widow continues to bother me, I will give her justice and protection, so that she may not finally wear me out by her continual coming."

⁶ Then the Lord added, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says! ⁷ And will not God give justice and protection to His chosen people who continue to cry to Him day and night, since He is so patient with them? ⁸ I tell you, He will give them justice and protection, and that without delay. But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
