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?”
