¹ And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired; ² Saying, There was a judge in a certain town, who had no fear of God or respect for man: ³ And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong. ⁴ And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man, ⁵ Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming. ⁶ And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge. ⁷ And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it? ⁸ I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?
