1. Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease,

2. saying: "There was a certain judge in a certain city, who did not fear God and did not respect man.

3. But there was a certain widow in that city, and she went to him, saying, 'Vindicate me from my adversary.'

4. And he refused to do so for a long time. But afterwards, he said within himself: 'Even though I do not fear God, nor respect man,

5. yet because this widow is pestering me, I will vindicate her, lest by returning, she may, in the end, wear me out.' "

6. Then the Lord said: "Listen to what the unjust judge said.
