1 And he also spoke a parable to them about it being necessary to always pray, and not to give up,
2 saying, In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God, and did not regard man.
3 And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent.
4 And for a time he would not, but after these things he said within himself, Although I fear not God, and regard not man,
5 yet because this widow causes me a beating, I will avenge her, lest by no end of coming she give me a black eye.
6 And the Lord said, Hear ye what the unrighteous judge says.
7 And God, will he, no, not do the vengeance of his chosen who cry out to him day and night, and yet being patient toward them?
8 I say to you, that he will do their vengeance speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he then find faith on the earth?
