And he was not willing for a time: but after these things he said in himself, Though I fear not God nor regard man, yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will avenge her, lest coming forever she may smite me in the face.

I say unto you, that He will avenge them speedily. Moreover the Son of man having come, will He then find faith upon the earth?
