The Parable of the Persistent Widow
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men
ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying,
There was in a city a judge, which feared not God,
neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that
city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine
adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward
he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor
regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will
avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And
shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and
night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell
you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when
the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Luke 18: 1-8
