Luke 12:58

ως γαρ υπαγεις μετα του αντιδικου σου επ αρχοντα εν τη οδω δος εργασιαν απηλλαχθαι απ αυτου μηποτε κατασυρη σε προς τον κριτην και ο κριτης σε παραδω τω πρακτορι και ο πρακτωρ σε βαλλη εις φυλακην
ōs gar ypageis meta toy antidikoy soy ep archonta en tē odō dos ergasian apēllachthai ap aytoy mēpote katasyrē se pros ton kritēn kai o kritēs se paradō tō praktori kai o praktōr se ballē eis phylakēn
King James Version (KJV)

When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, {as thou art} in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

Modern English

For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
