1 Jesus used this illustration with his disciples to show them that they need to pray all the time and never give up. 2 He said, |In a city there was a judge who didn't fear God or respect people. 3 In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me justice.' 4 |For a while the judge refused to do anything. But then he thought, 'This widow really annoys me. Although I don't fear God or respect people, 5 I'll have to give her justice. Otherwise, she'll keep coming to me until she wears me out.'| 6 The Lord added, |Pay attention to what the dishonest judge thought. 7 Won't God give his chosen people justice when they cry out to him for help day and night? Is he slow to help them? Luke 18:1-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
