1 And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,

3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,

9 And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:
