一、本週經文Scriptures: 路加福音18：1-7 Luke
1耶穌設一個比喻，是要人常常禱告，不可灰心。2說：某城裡有一個官，不懼怕神，也不尊重世人。3那城裡有個寡婦，常到他那裡，說：我有一個對頭，求你給我伸冤。4他多日不准。後來心裡說：我雖不懼怕神，也不尊重世人，5只因這寡婦煩擾我，我就給他伸冤吧，免得他常來纏磨我！6主說：你們聽這不義之官所說的話。神的選民晝夜呼籲他，他縱然為他們忍了多時，豈不終久給他們伸冤嗎？
1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off ?
