Luke Chapter 18, Verse 5
From BibleWiki
5: δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υπωπιαζη με
5: Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest
by her continual coming she weary me.
5: Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her,
lest continually coming she weary me.
She weary me. The word used here, in the original, is that which
was employed to denote the wounds and bruises caused by boxers,
who beat each other, and blacken their eyes, and disable them.
See "1Cor 9:27".
Hence it means any vexatious and troublesome importunity that takes the time, and disables from other employment.
