Matthew 18:34

18:34 And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him ¹  until he repaid all he owed.

Luke 12:59

12:59 I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the very last cent!” ² 

[18:34]  ¹ tn Grk “handed him over to the torturers,” referring specifically to guards whose job was to torture prisoners who were being questioned. According to L&N 37.126, it is difficult to know for certain in this instance whether the term actually envisions torture as a part of the punishment or is simply a hyperbole. However, in light of the following verse and Jesus’ other warning statements in Matthew about “fiery hell,” “the outer darkness,” etc., it is best not to dismiss this as mere imagery.

[12:59]  ² tn Here the English word “cent” is used as opposed to the parallel in Matt 5:26 where “penny” appears, since the Greek word there is different and refers to a different but similar coin.
