• Luke 18:1-8 : 1 Jesus told them a parable to show that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said, 'There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected people.' 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him and saying, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' 4 For a while, he refused. But later, he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God or respect people, I will give her justice.' 5 'Because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't wear me out with her continual coming.' 6 And the Lord said, 'Listen to what the unjust judge says.' 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay in helping them? 8 I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
