1
And He spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint,
2
saying, "There was in a city a judge who feared not God, neither regarded man.
3
And there was a widow in that city, and she came unto him, saying, `Avenge me on mine adversary.'
4
And for a while he would not, but afterward he said within himself, `Though I fear not God nor regard man,
5
yet because this widow troubleth me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.'"
6
And the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7
And shall not God avenge His own elect, who cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them?
8
I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?"
