Matthew 5:25-26

5:25 Reach agreement ¹  quickly with your accuser while on the way to court, ²  or he ³  may hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the warden, and you will be thrown into prison. 5:26 I tell you the truth, ⁴  you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny! ⁵ 

¹ tn Grk “Make friends.”

² tn The words “to court” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

³ tn Grk “the accuser.”

⁴ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

⁵ tn Here the English word “penny” is used as opposed to the parallel in Luke 12:59 where “cent” appears since the Greek word there is different and refers to a different but similar coin.
