Luke 18:3-8

3A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.’

4The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people,

5but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’”

6Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge.

7Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?

8I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”
