The Persistent Widow
Luke Chapter 18
|
| 18:1 |
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; |
|
|
|
| 18:2 |
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: |
|
|
|
| 18:3 |
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. |
|
|
|
| 18:4 |
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; |
|
|
|
| 18:5 |
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. |
|
|
|
| 18:6 |
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. |
|
|
|
| 18:7 |
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? |
|
|
|
| 18:8 |
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? |
