The Parable of the Persistent Widow
1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men aalways ought to pray and not lose heart,
3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying,1 ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,
5 ayet because this widow troubles me I will1 avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”
6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.
7 And ashall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
8 I tell you athat He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 Also He spoke this parable to some awho trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
