New American Standard Bible
23 Therefore, if you are (A)presenting your [a]offering at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your [b]offering there before the altar and go; first be (B)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your [c]offering. 25 (C)[d]Come to good terms with your accuser quickly, while you are with him on the way to court, so that your accuser will not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you will not be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I say to you, (D)you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last [e]quadrans.

King James Version
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 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.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
