The Parable of the Persistent Widow
1 "Then He spoke a parable to them, that
men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying:
“There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.
3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came
to him, saying, ‘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 yet because this widow troubles me
I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’” 6
Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7
And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him,
though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that
He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes,
will He really find faith on the earth?”
