Luke 18:1-5 New English Translation (NET)

1. Then Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not lose heart.

2. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people.

3. There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’

4. For a while he refused, but later on he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor have regard for people,

5. yet because this widow keeps on bothering me, I will give her justice, or in the end she will wear me out by her unending pleas.’”
