1 Jesus told his disciples a parable about their need to pray all the time and never give up.
2 He said,"In a city there was a judge who didn't fear God or respect people.
3 In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 For a while the judgerefused. But later he said to himself, ‘I don't fear God or respect people.
5 Yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice. Otherwise, she will keep coming and wear me out.’"
6 Then the Lord added,"Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Won't God grant his chosen people justice when they cry out to him day and night? Is he slow to help them?
8 I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
