1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not faint,2 saying: There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me from my adversary.4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, Though I do not fear God nor regard man,5 yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, that she not weary me by her continual coming.6 Then the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge said.7 And shall God not avenge His elect who cry out day and night to Him, as He is patient with them?8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?
