Luke 12:58

58 For when, with your opponent, you are going before the magistrate, on the way take pains to get out of his power; for fear that, if he should drag you before the judge, the judge may hand you over to the officer of the court, and the officer lodge you in prison.

Luke 12:58 In-Context

56 Vain pretenders! You know how to read the aspect of earth and sky. How is it you cannot read this present time?
57 "Why, too, do you not of yourselves arrive at just conclusions?
58 For when, with your opponent, you are going before the magistrate, on the way take pains to get out of his power; for fear that, if he should drag you before the judge, the judge may hand you over to the officer of the court, and the officer lodge you in prison.
59 Never, I tell you, will you get free till you have paid the last farthing."
