Alex: So, what did you do this week?

Contestant: Well, I read through Luke 18 of the Bible, so I'd like to summarize it for you.

Alex: (Sighs) Alright, go ahead...

Contestant: Luke 18 talks about humility, as Jesus tells his disciples a parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector who prayed in the temple. The Pharisee bragged about his righteousness, while the tax collector humbly asked God for mercy. Jesus then tells another parable about a persistent widow who eventually gets justice from a corrupt judge. He explains that the same is true of God, who always hears our prayers and answers them. Finally, Jesus heals a blind man and declares that it is possible to enter the kingdom of God through faith.

Alex: (Resignedly) Sounds like a really interesting chapter...
