The widow and the judge

( Lk 18:1-8) Bible reading for Aug 18th, 2013

1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, Grant me justice against my adversary. 4 For some time he refused. But nally he said to himself, Even though I dont fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she wont eventually come and attack me! 6 And the Lord said, Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them o ? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he nd faith on the earth?
