In context
1 And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray and not to faint,
2 Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man.
3 And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
4 And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man,
5 Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
