1 And he was speaking a parable unto them, as to its being needful for them always to pray, and not be faint-hearted;
2 sayingA certain judge, there was in a certain city,having, for God, no reverence, and, for man, no respect.
3 And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, sayingVindicate me from mine adversary!
4 And he was unwilling for a time; but, after these things, he said within himselfAlthough, neither God, I reverence, nor man, I respect,
5 Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her,lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.
6 And the Lord saidHear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith;
7 And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?
8 I tell youHe will execute their vindication, quickly! nevertheless, though, the Son of Man, do come, will he, after all, find the faith on the earth?
