Parable of the Unjust Judge, John Everett Millais, 1863. [PD-US] |
Jesus told his disciples a parable
about the necessity for them to pray always
without becoming weary.
He said, "There was a judge in a certain town
who neither feared God nor respected any human
being.
And a widow in that town used to come to him and
say,
'Render a just decision for me against my
adversary.'
For a long time the judge was unwilling, but
eventually he thought,
'While it is true that I neither fear God nor
respect any human being,
because this widow keeps bothering me
I shall deliver a just decision for her
lest she finally come and strike me.'"
The Lord said, "Pay attention to what the
dishonest judge says.
Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen
ones
who call out to him day and night?
Will he be slow to answer them?
I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done
for them speedily.
But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith
on earth?"
Luke 18:1-8
