Luke 18:1-17 - A Persistent Widow, a Pharisee, a Tax Collector, and some Little Children

Jesus told His disciples a parable about an unjust judge and a persistent widow to teach that ”men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” He then confronted the self-righteous with a story contrasting the prayers of a Pharisees with those of a tax collector. In the closing verses of this section, Jesus taught the disciples they needed to become like children if they hoped to enter the Kingdom of God.
