Lukas 12,58

Conflict and reconciliationWisdom

56 Dere hyklere! Dere vet hvordan dere skal tolke jordens og himmelens utseende, men hvordan er det at dere ikke vet hvordan dere skal tolke denne tiden?

57 “Og hvorfor dømmer dere ikke selv hva som er rett?

Når du går med din motstander til dommeren, gjør en innsats for å bli forlikt på veien, slik at han ikke drar deg for dommeren, og dommeren overgir deg til betjenten, og betjenten kaster deg i fengsel.

59 Jeg sier deg, du vil ikke bli løslatt før du har betalt den siste øre.”
