5 at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.
yet, because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her; lest by coming for ever she weary me out.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?
And will not God avenge his chosen, who cry to him day and night, though he be slow to punish in their behalf?
8 I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?

13 And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.

Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, will not enter therein.
