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

¹ And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint: ² saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared God, nor regarded man. ³ And there was a widow in that city, who came to him, saying, Do me justice of my adversary.

⁴ And he would not for a time: but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God, ⁵ nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out.

⁶ And the Lord said, hear what even the unjust judge saith: ⁷ and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them. ⁸ I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. And yet when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith in the land?
