57'And why can you not judge for yourselves what is the right course?Settling with Your Accuser Lk.12.57-59 (Judaea) | Mt.5.25-26Τί δὲ καὶ ἀφ' ἑαυτῶν οὐ κρίνετε τὸ δίκαιον;
58While you are going with your opponent to court, make an effort to settle with him while you are still on the way; otherwise he may drag you before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the constable, and the constable put you in jail. ὡς γὰρ ὑπάγεις μετὰ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου σου ἐπ' ἀρχοντα, ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ δὸς ἐργασίαν ἀπηλλάχθαι ἀπ' αὐτοῦ, μήποτε κατασύρῃ σε πρὸς τὸν κριτήν, καὶ ὁ κριτής σε παραδώσει τῷ πράκ τορι, καὶ ὁ πράκτωρ σε βαλεῖ εἰς φυλακήν.
59I tell you, you will not come out till you have paid the last farthing.'
 λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς ἐκεῖθεν ἑως καὶ τὸ ἐσχατον λεπτὸν ἀποδῷς.
