Then Yeshua told his talmidim a parable, in order to impress on them that
they must always keep praying and not lose heart.
2
"In a certain town, there was a judge who
neither feared God nor respected other people.
3
There was also in that town a widow who kept coming
to him and saying, `Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to
ruin me.'
4
For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he
said to himself, `I don't fear God, and I don't respect other
people;
5
but because this widow is such a nudnik, I will see
to it that she gets justice -- otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering
me till she wears me out!'"
6
Then the Lord commented, "Notice what this
corrupt judge says.
7
Now won't God grant justice to his chosen people who
cry out to him day and night? Is he delaying long over them?
8
I tell you that he will judge in their favor, and
quickly! But when the Son of Man comes, will he find this trust on the
earth at all?" |
