Lucas 18:4 In-Context

2 Ele disse: “Em certa cidade havia um juiz que não temia a Deus nem se importava com os homens.
3 E havia naquela cidade uma viúva que se dirigia continuamente a ele, suplicando-lhe: ‘Faze-me justiça contra o meu adversário’.
4 “Por algum tempo ele se recusou. Mas finalmente disse a si mesmo: ‘Embora eu não tema a Deus e nem me importe com os homens,
5 esta viúva está me aborrecendo; vou fazer-lhe justiça para que ela não venha mais me importunar’.”
6 E o Senhor continuou: “Ouçam o que diz o juiz injusto.
