John Gill Commentary Luke 18:4

"And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;" — Luke 18:4 (ASV)

And he would not for a while
He would give no ear to her cries, nor take her cause in hand, nor right her wrongs, and clear her of her adversary:

but afterward he said within himself ;
as he was considering the matter in his own mind, and reflecting on this woman's case and the frequent application she had made to him:

though I fear not God, nor regard man ;
a monster in iniquity he was, to say so of himself; for though the character belongs to many, there are few that are so impudent in sin, as to take it to themselves, and glory in it.
