Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - Because of his importunity, he will rise. The one idea left upon the minds of the hearers of this little quaint homely parable is - importunity is completely successful. The borrower had only need to keep on knocking to get all he wanted.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Because of his importunity.--Literally, because of his shamelessness. The word is not used elsewhere in the New Testament, and exactly expresses the pertinacity that knows no restraint.
