Luke 18:1-8

Parables on Prayer

1 Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ^aought to pray and not ^bbecome discouraged, 2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not ^crespect any person. 3 Now there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my ^{▼▼Or enemy}opponent.’ 4 For a while he was unwilling; but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor ^erespect any person, 5 yet ^fbecause this widow is bothering me, I will give her justice; otherwise ^{▼▼Or in the end she may come and give me a black eye}by continually coming she will ^hwear me out.’” 6 And ⁱthe Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge *said; 7 now, will God not ^jbring about justice for His ^kelect who cry out to Him day ^{▼▼Or and night? He is also patient toward them}and night, and will He ^mdelay long for them? 8 I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, ⁿwill He find ^{▼▼Lit the faith}faith on the earth?”
