ing Luke 18:1-8 “Will he keep putting them off?” This is the parable of the unjust judge and the widow – so they met and JC is talking about prayers right now. JC told them to show his disciples they should always pray and not give up. In one town there was a judge who did not care about God – so this was a very extreme evil person – you could not get worse. But a widow comes and said grant me justice against my adversary – but would he listen? He doesn’t care about God and he looks down on man
seeks shall find; and to him that knocked it shall be opened.” Luke 18:1-5 “And he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Jesus use this illustration through parables or storytelling. He tells of an unjust judge and a widow whom persistence payed off. There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither cared what people thought. There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and pled, “Grant me justice against my adversary. And
(17:19); and the woman who people called a sinner in the city (7:37). Salvation is seen throughout Luke as well as faith (Edmond 5). The disciples ask Jesus to “Increase [their] faith” (17:5) but instead, Jesus tells “them a parable about a widow who pleaded with an unjust judge.” (Edmond 5). Jesus didn’t really have a complete answer, he just stated, “…when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8).

Jesus have often been taken for rules which were meant only as striking statements of a principle; for example, "Whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." If any proof be needed that this was not meant as a rule, let us judge of the Saviour's meaning from the course which he himself pursued, for he, as we have said before, is the one teacher whose example never fell short of his precepts. When one of the high priest's officers struck him at the trial, we do not read that
