Luke 12:57-59

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵⁷ Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? ⁵⁸ Indeed, as you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, make an effort on the way to reach a settlement with him. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison. ⁵⁹ I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last cent.”^[a]
