Luke 18:1-8
New Jerusalem Bible

1 Then he told them a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart.
2 ‘There was a judge in a certain town,’ he said, ‘who had neither fear of God nor respect for anyone.
3 In the same town there was also a widow who kept on coming to him and saying, “I want justice from you against my enemy!”
4 For a long time he refused, but at last he said to himself, “Even though I have neither fear of God nor respect for any human person,
5 I must give this widow her just rights since she keeps pestering me, or she will come and slap me in the face.” ‘
6 And the Lord said, ‘You notice what the unjust judge has to say?
7 Now, will not God see justice done to his elect if they keep calling to him day and night even though he still delays to help them?
8 I promise you, he will see justice done to them, and done speedily. But when the Son of man comes, will he find any faith on earth?‘
