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 the Lord said,.... The Lord Jesus Christ, who delivered out this parable to his disciples:

hear what the unjust judge saith; and take encouragement from hence to be frequent and importunate in prayer with God; for if such a cruel, merciless, and unjust judge is to be wrought upon by importunity to do justice, who has no principle to influence him, how much more will not God, who is a just judge, the judge of widows, and of the oppressed, a God of great mercy and compassion, who delights in the prayers of his people, knows their cases, and is able to help them, and who has an interest in them, and they in him? how much more will not he regard their importunate requests, and arise, and save them much such like reasoning this is used by the Jews:

"says R. Simeon ben Chelphetha, an impudent man overcomes a good man, or a modest man, (by his importunity,) how much more the goodness of the world itself q?''

that is, how much more will a man, by his continual prayer, prevail with God, who is goodness itself? And they have another saying r, that agrees with this:

"says R. Nachman, impudence (i.e. importunity) even against God is profitable.''

The application of this parable follows:

q T. Hieros. Taaniot, fol. 65. 2. r T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 105. 1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 18:6. Hear what the unjust judge saith. — Our blessed Lord intimates that we should reason thus with ourselves: "If a person of such an infamous character as this judge was could yield to the pressing and continual solicitations of a poor widow, for whom he felt nothing but contempt, how much more ready must God be, who is infinitely good and merciful, and who loves his creatures in the tenderest manner, to give his utmost salvation to all them who diligently seek it!"
