Luke 18:1-8
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and
not to lose heart.  2 He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who
neither feared God nor had respect for people.  3 In that city there
was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, “Grant me justice
against my opponent.”  4 For a while he refused; but later he said to
himself, “Though I have no fear of God and no respect for
anyone,  5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant
her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually
coming.” ’  6 And the Lord said, ‘Listen to what the unjust judge
says.  7 And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to
him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them?  8 I tell you,
he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man
comes, will he find faith on earth?’
