1 Then Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not lose heart. 2 He said, |In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people. 3 There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.' 4 For a while he refused, but later on he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God nor have regard for people, 5 yet because this widow keeps on bothering me, I will give her justice, or in the end she will wear me out by her unending pleas.'| 6 And the Lord said, |Listen to what the unrighteous judge says! 7 Won't God give justice to his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay long to help them? Luke 18:1-7, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
