Saying,
There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, neither regarded man:
All Commentaries on Luke 18:2 Go To Luke 18

Saying there was in a city a judge which feared not God. This judge was wicked, unjust, cruel, and godless, one who feared neither the vengeance of God, nor the ill-report of men, who cared nothing for his conscience or his character. For the wicked who have no fear of God are often deterred by the shame of men, from confessing those acts for which they are openly despised and considered godless and infamous. But this judge was moved by no fear of God or Prayer of Manasseh , and therefore he had arrived, says Theophylact, at the summit of all wickedness.
