“And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.”
And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, grant me justice against my adversary — the widow who kept coming: the persistent, repeated coming is the parable's mechanism. The widow is the most socially vulnerable person in the ancient world — no husband, no male protector, no political influence. Grant me justice against my adversary: the specific legal plea.
