Luke 18:2-8 (Gospel)
- 2
- saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.
- 3
- Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
- 4
- And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,
- 5
- yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’”
- 6
- Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.
- 7
- And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
- 8
- I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
