Contextual Overview

¹ And he put foorth a parable vnto them, to this ende that me ought alwayes to pray, & not to be weery, ² Saying: There was in a certayne citie, a iudge, whiche feared not God, neither regarded man. ³ And there was a certayne widdowe in the same citie, and she came vnto him, saying: Auenge me of mine aduersarie. ⁴ And he woulde not for a whyle. But afterwarde he sayde within hym selfe: Though I feare not God, nor care for man, ⁵ Yet because this widdowe [much] troubleth me, I wyll auenge her: leste she come at the last, & make me weery. ⁶ And the Lorde sayde: heare what the vuryghteous iudge sayeth. ⁷ And shall not God auenge his elect, which crye day and nyght vnto hym? yea, though he deferre them, ⁸ I tell you he wyll auenge them, and that quickly. Neuerthelesse, when the sonne of man commeth, shall he fynde fayth on the earth?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he would not for a while,.... He would give no ear to her cries, nor take her cause in hand, nor right her wrongs, and clear her of her adversary:

but afterward he said within himself; as he was considering the matter in his own mind, and reflecting on this woman's case and the frequent application she had made to him:

though I fear not God, nor regard man; a monster in iniquity he was, to say so of himself; for though the character belongs to many, there are few that are so impudent in sin, as to take it to themselves, and glory in it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For a while - Probably this means for a “considerable” time. It was his duty to attend to the claims of justice, but this was long delayed.

Within himself - He thought, or came to a conclusion.

Though I fear not ... - This contains the reason why he attended to the case at all. It was not from any regard to justice, or to the duties of his office. It was simply to avoid “trouble.” And yet his conduct in this case might have appeared very upright, and possibly might have been strictly according to law and to justice. How many actions are performed that “appear well,” when the doers of those actions know that they are mere hypocrisy! and how many actions are performed from the basest and lowest motives of “selfishness,” that have the appearance of external propriety and even of goodness!

She weary me - The word used here, in the original, is that which was employed to denote the wounds and bruises caused by “boxers,” who beat each other, and blacken their eyes, and disable them. See the notes at 1 Corinthians 9:27. Hence, it means any vexatious and troublesome importunity that takes the time, and disables from other employment.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 18:4. He said within himself — How many actions which appear good have neither the love of God, nor that of our neighbour, but only self-love of the basest kind, for their principle and motive!
