Luke 18:1-5

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men. And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men, yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”

    resonates with Luke 18:1-5

    The persistence theme of refusing to give up echoes the persistent widow's relentless pleading, though here aimed at fame rather than God.
