Cette parabole renferme à la fois une promesse et une exhortation, selon que nous considérons les deux hommes mis en scène. La promesse pourrait se traduire ainsi : "Si un homme, par pur égoïsme et pour se délivrer d'un solliciteur, lui accorde sa demande, même au temps le plus inopportun (minuit), combien plus Dieu, qui connaît tous vos besoins et qui est amour !"
Quant à l'exhortation, c'est le solliciteur lui-même qui nous la fait entendre par son exemple : Puisque, dans les circonstances les plus défavorables, mais pressés par vos besoins, vous ne craignez pas d'importuner avec insistance un homme que vous savez si peu généreux, pourquoi ne faites-vous pas de même envers Dieu qui, dans sa miséricorde infinie, est toujours prêt à vous accorder bien au delà de toutes vos prières ? (Comp Matthieu 15.22 et suivants)
La pleine confiance qu'une telle requête ne sera pas vaine est exprimée par ce verbe au futur : il lui donnera.
