And he spake a parable vnto them, to this ende, that men ought alwayes to pray, and not to faint,

Saying, There was in a city a Iudge, which feared not God neither regarded man.

And there was a widowe in that citie, and she came vnto him, saying, Auenge me of mine aduersarie:

And hee would not for a while. But afterward he said within himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor regard man,

Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will auenge her, lest by her continuall comming, she wearie me.

And the Lord said, Heare what the vniust iudge saith.

And shall not God auenge his owne elect, which crie day and night vnto him, thogh he beare long with them?

I tell you that he wil auenge them speedily. Neuerthelesse, when the Son of man commeth, shall hee find faith on the earth?
