Medium
The Parable of the Friend at Midnight (Luke 11:5-8) seems to commend persistence to the point of annoyance. How does this align with other teachings of Jesus concerning respect and consideration for others?
A
It doesn't; the parable is an exaggeration to emphasize the importance of personal needs.
B
The parable is mistranslated; the original Greek implies a less demanding request.
C
The parable is about God's generosity, not human behavior, and shouldn't be taken literally as a model for interpersonal relationships. The 'shamelessness' refers to God's willingness to answer even audacious prayers.
D
Jesus is advocating for aggressive tactics in negotiation and business dealings.
