Luke 18:1-8

Revised Geneva Translation

18 And He also spoke a parable to them showing that they ought always to pray and not grow weary,

² He said, “There was a judge in a certain city who neither feared God nor respected man.

³ “And there was a widow in that city who came to him saying, ‘Do me justice against my adversary.’

⁴ “And he would not do so for some time. But then, he said to himself, ‘I neither fear God nor respect man.

⁵ ‘Yet because this widow troubles me I will do her right, lest she keeps coming and makes me weary.’”

⁶ And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says.

⁷ “Now, shall not God avenge His Elect, who cry day and night to Him, even though He bears with them a long time?

⁸ “I tell you, He will avenge them quickly! But, when the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the Earth?”
