Persistent

The Persistent Widow

1And He was speaking to them a parable about the way it behooves them always to pray and not to lose heart, 2saying, “In a certain city, there was a certain judge, not fearing God, and not respecting man. 3And there was a widow in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, ‘Avenge me of my adversary.’

4And for a time he would not, but afterward he said within himself, ‘Even if I do not fear God, nor respect man, 5yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will avenge her, so that in the end she does not exhaust me, coming to me.’”
