Luke 12:58

12:58 As you are going with your accuser before the magistrate, ⁹  make an effort to settle with him on the way, so that he will not drag you before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, ¹⁰  and the officer throw you into prison.

[7:6]  ⁴ tn Or “do not be bothered.”

[9:48]  ⁷ sn Children were very insignificant in ancient culture, so this child would be the perfect object lesson to counter the disciples’ selfish ambitions.

[12:58]  ¹¹ sn The term magistrate (ἄρχων, arcwn) refers to an official who, under the authority of the government, serves as judge in legal cases (see L&N 56.29).

[12:58]  ¹² sn The officer (πράκτωρ, praktwr) was a civil official who functioned like a bailiff and was in charge of debtor’s prison. The use of the term, however, does not automatically demand a Hellenistic setting (BDAG 859 s.v.; K. H. Rengstorf, TDNT 8:539; C. Maurer, TDNT 6:642).
