The Parable of the Friend at Night (or of the ''Importunate Neighbour''), is a parable of Jesus, which appears in only one of the Canonical gospels of the New Testament. According to the Luke , a friend eventually agrees to help his neighbor due to his persistent demands rather than because they are friends, despite the late hour and the inconvenience of it. This parable demonstrates the need to pray without giving up. It is similar to the Parable of the Unjust Judge and is depicted by several artists, including William Holman Hunt. == Narrative == The parable is as follows: The scene described in this parable suggests a single-roomed peasant house, where the whole family sleeps together on a mat on the floor,〔〔 and a man travelling by night to avoid the heat of the day.〔 The reason for the friend's request is hospitality, a sacred duty throughout the Mediterranean world in antiquity.〔(Hultgren, Arland J., ''The Parables of Jesus'', Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2002, ISBN )〕
