“I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth? — he will see that they get justice, and quickly: the promise of the rapid divine response when the time comes. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth: the eschatological question shifts from God's faithfulness (certain) to human persistence (uncertain). The question is whether the community will maintain the persistent prayer until the Son of Man comes.
