1.3 KiB
Jesus continues speaking to his disciples about prayer.
Listen to what the unjust judge says
"Think about what the unjust judge just said." Translate this in a way that people will understand that Jesus has already told what the judge said.
Will not God also bring
Jesus used this rhetorical question to indicate that what he was teaching was something that his audience should already be able to figure out. This could also be translated as "God will certainly bring" or "So you can be sure that God will also bring." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
his chosen ones
"the people he has chosen"
Will he not be patient with them?
Jesus used this rhetorical question to remind people of something they should already have known about God. This could also be translated as "And you know that he is patient with them." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
Son of Man
Jesus is referring to himself.
will he find faith on the earth
The purpose of the parable is to encourage the disciples to keep believing and pray. Jesus is here using another rhetorical question that expects a negative answer. The meaning of the question is "But I know that when I, the Son of Man, return, I will find people who do not believe in me." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
