² In a town there was once a judge who didn't fear God or care about people. ³ In that same town there was a widow who kept going to the judge and saying, "Make sure that I get fair treatment in court." ⁴ For a while the judge refused to do anything. Finally, he said to himself, "Even though I don't fear God or care about people, ⁵ I will help this widow because she keeps on bothering me. If I don't help her, she will wear me out." ⁶ The Lord said: Think about what that crooked judge said. ⁷ Won't God protect his chosen ones who pray to him day and night? Won't he be concerned for them? ⁸ He will surely hurry and help them. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find on this earth anyone with faith?
