Luke 12:59
Verse 59 of 59. The 12th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.
55When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
57“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
