Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 18:2-3

"saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man: and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary." — Luke 18:2-3 (ASV)

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

He would not have concerned himself with her case simply because she was a poor widow; he had no heartfelt compassion for her. Nor would it have concerned him at all that her adversary had wronged her. He did not trouble himself to discharge the duties pertaining to his office. No fear of God and no respect for public opinion affected him at all.
