Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 18:3

"and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary." — Luke 18:3 (ASV)

And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.

Probably someone had come and taken away from her the small piece of land that her husband had left her, from the produce of which she and the children might have lived; and she could not get it back again. So she comes to the judge and cries, "Avenge me of my adversary."

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

She had no friend to plead for her, she had nobody to help her; and, therefore, when she was robbed of her little patrimony, she went to the court, and asked the judge for justice.
