Prayer and the Parable of the Persistent Widow Then Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not lose heart.
He said,“In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people.
There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying,‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
