Matthew 5:25, 26 Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. / Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Matthew 18:34 In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
