Settling with Your Opponent
57 “And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? 58 Thus when you go with your accuser before a magistrate, on the way make an effort to reach a settlement,[a] or you may be dragged before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you in prison.(A) 59 I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.”(B)

New Living Translation
57 “Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right? 58 When you are on the way to court with your accuser, try to settle the matter before you get there. Otherwise, your accuser may drag you before the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, who will throw you into prison. 59 And if that happens, you won’t be free again until you have paid the very last penny.[a]”
