Luke 18

1. Luke 18:1-8

   Appears in: S1:E6 — Indescribable Compassion (37:54-38:36)

   Jesus tells the Parable of the Persistent Widow to the crowd.

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