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?
8
I can guarantee that he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
