“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;”
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up — Luke's explicit statement of the parable's purpose is unusual: always pray and not give up (mē egkakein, not lose heart, not grow weary). The parable is not merely illustrative but prescriptive — its purpose is to ground persistent prayer.
