New Revised Academic Version (NRAV)
- By Deborah and Loren Haarsma
If Jesus taught on the campus today,
what might His parables say?
Luke 18:2-8
In a certain department there was a chairman who neither feared God nor cared about
students. There was a student in that department who kept coming to him with the plea,
"Grant me justice in my petition." For some time he refused, but finally he said
to himself, "Even though I don't fear God or care about students, yet because this
student keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually
wear me out with her coming!" Listen to what the unjust department chair says. Will
not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he
keep putting them off? I tell you he will see that they get justice, and quickly. (Luke
18:2-8)
