Luke 18:6

King James Version (1769)

6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
Untruth

Misinterpretations often equate God with the unjust judge, suggesting He is reluctant or needs nagging to act, which distorts prayer into manipulation rather than trusting dependence; others claim it promises instant answers to all repeated requests, overlooking the parable's emphasis on divine vindication against oppression and endurance until Christ's return, potentially fostering disillusionment when outcomes differ.

Truth

Jesus uses the unjust judge's concession in the parable to highlight God's greater faithfulness, assuring that if even a heartless magistrate grants justice to a persistent widow, God will surely and speedily vindicate His elect who cry to Him day and night, encouraging believers to persist in prayer without losing heart amid delays or injustices.
