Thematic Bible: Compromise
Thematic Bible
Compromise » Before litigation, encouraged
Agree with your accuser quickly, while you are with him in the way, lest the accuser deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. I tell you truly, you shall not go out thence till you have paid the last quadrans [4 mills].
For when you go with your adversary to a ruler, on the way labor to be released from him, lest he take you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison; I tell you that you shall not go out thence till you have paid even the last lepton [2 mill].
