Luke 18:3 in context

  1. 1He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
  2. 2saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God, and didn’t respect man.
  3. 3A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
  4. 4He wouldn’t for a while, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,
  5. 5yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’ ”
