4 For a while the judge refused to do anything. Finally, he said to himself, “Even though I don't fear God or care about people,
5 I will help this widow because she keeps on bothering me. If I don't help her, she will wear me out.”
6 The Lord said:Think about what that crooked judge said.
7 Won't God protect his chosen ones who pray to him day and night? Won't he be concerned for them?
8 He will hurry and help them. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find on this earth anyone with faith?
9 Jesus told a story to some people who thought they were better than others and who looked down on everyone else:
10 Two men went into the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
