This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Agree with thine adversary - thine opponent in a matter cognizable by law.
quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him - “to the magistrate,” as in Luk 12:58.
lest at any time - here, rather, “lest at all,” or simply “lest.”
the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge - having pronounced thee in the wrong.
deliver thee to the officer - the official whose business it is to see the sentence carried into effect.
