Jesus Christ told this parable:

"In a certain town there was a judge

who neither feared God nor cared about men. (Luke 18:2).

And there was a widow in that town

who kept coming to him with the plea,

'Grant me justice against my adversary.' (Luke 18:3).

"For some time he refused.

But finally he said to himself,

'Even though I don't fear God or care about men,

yet because this widow keeps bothering me,

I will see that she gets justice,

so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' " (Luke 18: 4-5).

And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. (Luke 18:6).

And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones,

who cry out to him day and night?

Will he keep putting them off?

I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. (Luke 18:7-8).
