Mat 05:21-26 v.22, 24, 25: Go, be reconciled, offer, be agreeing

Mat 5:24  leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Mat 5:25  Make friends quickly with your accuser,

Context

Mat 05:21  “You have heard that it was said to the men of old, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.’ Mat 5:22  But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to the hell of fire.

Advocated behaviors therefore a command

Mat 5:23  So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

Advocated behaviors therefore a command

Mat 5:24  leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Mat 5:25  Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison;

Point: easier to make friends with accuser than officials?

Mat 5:26  truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.
