“Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
18:1-8 All God's people are praying people. Here earnest steadiness in prayer for spiritual mercies is taught. The widow's earnestness prevailed even with the unjust judge: she might fear lest it should set him more against her; but our earnest prayer is pleasing to our God. Even to the end there will still be ground for the same complaint of weakness of faith.
“Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.”
