Luke 12 — Context

56

O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?

57

And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right?

58

For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.

59

I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.
