The Persistent Widow

Lukas 18:1–8

What Yeshua is saying

A widow keeps coming to an unjust judge until he grants her justice to be rid of her.

The explanation

Yeshua told this so they would not lose heart. If even an unjust judge yields to persistence, will the just Father not vindicate His chosen who cry to Him day and night? Yet He asks: when the Ben Adam comes, will He find faith on earth? Pray and do not give up.
