儿童解释

Imagine if you asked your friend to share their snack, and at first they said no. But then, after seeing you really wanted it and not caring what anyone thinks, they decided to share anyway. That's a bit like this judge who finally decides to help the widow even though he doesn’t care about God or people’s opinions.

历史背景

The Gospel of Luke was written by Luke, a physician and companion of Paul, around AD 80-100 for Gentile Christians. The passage is set in Jesus' teachings aimed at showing his followers the importance of persistent prayer.
