Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 5
Mt 5, Verses 25–26English original
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Or, the prison is worldly misfortune which God often sends upon sinners.
