The Persistent Widow
| 1 | And he spake 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, which feared not God, neither regarded man: |
| 3 | And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. |
| 4 | And he would not for a while: 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, which 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? |
