Luke 18:7
Compare all
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.
11 The Pharisee astood and prayed thus with himself, b‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.  
12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’
13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; afor everyone who exalts himself will be1 humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”  

Jesus Blesses Little Children

15 aThen they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.  
16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for aof such is the kingdom of God.

Luke 18:7

Luke 18:7 Shall not God avenge his own elect? If an unjust, hard-hearted judge can be moved by the persistent prayers of a widow, will not the tender, loving, good Father hear the cries of his children? Though he bear long with them. Rather, as in the Revised Version, "He is long-suffering over them". He is long-suffering for them for their own good, and long-suffering towards their enemies in order that they may have opportunity to repent.
