I say to you that He will execute vengeance for them quickly. However, the Son of Man having come, will He find faith[d] on the earth?”

  2. Luke 18:7 Or, punishment.
  3. Luke 18:7 Unlike the unrighteous judge who only answered out of impatience, God is patient with those crying out to Him. Or, and He is delaying [to act] for them? (from their point of view). Or, night? And is He delaying over them?
  4. Luke 18:8 Or, faithfulness. Lit, the faith. That is, the faith spoken of in this parable, which prays and does not lose heart; or more broadly, a true faith in God that would act in this way. No answer is implied by the grammar of the question.
