Luke 18:3 in context

  1. 1And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;
  2. 2saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:
  3. 3and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
  4. 4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
  5. 5yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.
