1. He told them a parable to illustrate that it is necessary always to pray and not lose heart.
2. He said: “In a city there was a judge who did not fear God or regard man.
3. And a widow was in that city. She came to him, saying, ‘Avenge me against my adversary.’
4. “He would not for a while. Yet afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I do not fear God or respect man,
5. yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she will weary me.’ ”
