Matthew 5:26

Verily, I say unto thee ,.... This may be depended upon, you may assure yourself of it, that

thou shalt by no means come out thence , from prison,

till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing , or "last farthing"; or as the Ethiopic version reads it, "till thou hast exactly paid all"; which seems to express the inexorableness of the creditor, and the impossibility of the debtor's release.
