Settle with Your Adversary

57 “Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As yoʋ are going with yoʋr adversary before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag yoʋ to the judge, and the judge [fn]hand yoʋ over to the officer, and the officer [fn]throw yoʋ into prison. 59 I tell yoʋ, yoʋ will certainly not come out of there until yoʋ have paid the very last cent.”
