12:57 Facing up to your obligations

(Mat. 5:25-26)

57 “Even for yourselves, can’t you judge what is right and wrong? 58 Because as you’re on the way with your opponent to an arbitrator, think hard about how to resolve the case, because if you don’t he might drag you off to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the constable, and the constable will toss you into a prison cell. 59 I’m telling you that you won’t get out of there until every last coin has been repaid.”

57 And why even for yourselves, you _all _are_ not _judging what is right?
58 For/Because as you _are _going with the opponent of _you before a_ruler in the way, give effort to _have _released from him, lest he _may _be _dragging_ you _away to the judge, and the judge will _be _giving_ you _over to _the constable, and the constable will _be _throwing you into prison.
59 I _am _saying to _you, by _no _means you _may_ not _come _out from _there until you _may _give _back even the last lepton_coin.
