Context — Teaching on Reconciliationgenerated
Matthew 5:26 is part of a larger teaching where Jesus instructs His followers on the importance of reconciliation. He warns that failing to settle disputes can lead to dire consequences, using the metaphor of imprisonment until debts are paid. This teaching emphasizes the need for urgency in resolving conflicts, as seen in the surrounding verses that discuss the importance of reconciliation with adversaries before facing judgment.

The Key Wordgenerated
The word κοδράντης (i.e., *kodrantēs*) refers to a small Roman coin, specifically a quadrans, which is one-fourth of an as. This term highlights the idea of a minimal yet significant amount, emphasizing that even the smallest debts must be accounted for.
In this context, it underscores the seriousness of settling one's obligations, as Jesus indicates that one cannot escape consequences until every last detail is resolved.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The BSB states, penny, while the KJV and ASV use farthing, both referring to the same small coin. The translations agree on the necessity of settling debts.
However, they differ in phrasing: the BSB and WEB use until, while the KJV and ASV opt for unto. This reflects slight variations in style without altering the core message.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is λέγω, I say, which governs the entire statement. The structure includes a direct address to the listener and a conditional clause regarding their release from imprisonment.
The sentence comprises several components: the subject I, the verb say, and the conditional elements that describe the consequences of not paying the debt, creating a complex but coherent statement.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἀποδίδωμι is used in the Septuagint to convey the idea of giving back or repaying, similar to its usage in this verse. It emphasizes the importance of fulfilling obligations.
The word ἔσχατος also appears in the LXX, often in contexts discussing finality or the utmost, reinforcing the idea of completeness in settling debts.

The “mite,” half the quadrans (Mark 12:42), was the smallest coin in circulation. The “farthing” of Matthew 10:29 is a different word, and was applied to the tenth part of the drachma. Do the words point to a terminable or to an endless punishment? In the frame-work of the similitude such a sentence would not involve perpetual imprisonment, if only the condemned could get together the money wherewith to pay his debt or fine; and we might infer, as Romanist divines have inferred, that such a payment, to be…

The Greek word ἀμήν (i.e., *amēn*) is an indeclinable term derived from Hebrew, meaning 'verily' or 'so be it.' It functions as an adverb in the New Testament, often used to affirm statements or prayers, particularly in the teachings of Jesus. It appears frequently, including in Revelation 3:14, where it describes Christ as 'the faithful and true one.' The repetition of the word in John's Gospel emphasizes certainty.
ἀμήν, Hebr. 1285 1. verbal adj. (fr. [23 to prop; Niph. to be firm), firm, metaph. faithful: ὁ ἀμήν, Rev. iii. 14 (where is added ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστὸς K. ἀληθινός). 2. it came to be used as an adverb by which something is asserted or confirmed: a. at the beginning of a discourse, surely, of a truth, truly; so freq. in the discourses of Christ in Mt. Mk. and Lk.: ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν “1 solemnly declare unto you,’ e.g. Mt. v.18; Mk. iii. 28; Lk. iv. 34. The repetition of the word (ἀμὴν ἀμήν), employed by John alone inhis Gospel (twenty-five times), has the force of a superlative, most assuredly: Jn. i. 51 (52); iii. 8. Ὁ. at the close of a sentence; so it is, so be it, may it be fulfilled (γένοιτο, Sept. Num. ν. 22; Deut. xxvii. 15, ete.): Ro.i. 25; ix.5; Gal.i.5; Eph. iii. 21; Phil. iv. 20; 1 Tim.i.17; Heb. xiii. 21; 1 Pet. iv. 11; Rev. i. 6, and often; cf. Jer. xi. 5; xxxv. (xxviii.) 6; 1 K. i.…

Hebrew — Hebrewa-men' (in ritual speech and in singing a-men', a'men) ('amen; amen, = "truly," "verily"): Is derived from the reflexive form of a verb meaning "to be firm," or "to prop." It occurs twice as a noun in Isa 65:16, where we have (the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American)) "God of truth." This rendering implies the pointing 'omen or 'emun i.e. "truth," or "faithfulness," a reading actually suggested by Cheyne and adopted by others. "Amen" is generally used as an adverb of assent or confirmation--fiat, "so let it be." In Jer 28:6 the prophet endorses with it the words of Hananiah. Amen is employed when an individual or the whole nation confirms a covenant or oath recited in their presence (Nu 5:22;
Amen
This Hebrew word means firm, and hence also faithful (Rev. 3:14). In Isa. 65:16, the Authorized Version has “the God of truth,” which in Hebrew is “the God of Amen.” It is frequently used by our Saviour to give emphasis to his words, where it is translated “verily.” Sometimes, only, however, in John’s Gospel, it is repeated, “Verily, verily.” It is used as an epithet of the Lord Jesus Christ (Rev. 3:14).
It is found singly and sometimes doubly at the end of prayers (Ps. 41:13; 72:19; 89:52), to confirm the words and invoke the fulfilment of them. It is used in token of being bound by an oath (Num.…
literally "true" and used as a substantive, "that which is true," "truth," (Isaiah 65:16) a word used in strong asseverations, fixing, as it were, the stamp of truth upon the assertion which it accompanied, and making it binding as an oath. Comp. (Numbers 5:22) In the synagogues and private houses it was customary for the people or members of the family who were present to say "amen" to the prayers which were offered. (Matthew 6:13; 1 Corinthians 14:16) And not only public prayers, but those offered in private, and doxologies, were appropriately concluded with "amen." (Romans 9:5; 11:36; 15:33; 16:27; 2 Corinthians…
Strictly an adjective, signifying firm, and by a metaphor, faithful. So in Re 3:14, our Lord is called "the Amen, the faithful and true Witness," where the last words explain the preceding appellation. In its adverbial use it means certainly, truly, surely. It is used at the beginning of a sentence by way of emphasis, frequently by our Savior, and is there commonly translated Verily. In John’s gospel alone, it is often used by him in this way double, Verily, verily. At the end of a sentence it is often used, singly or repeated, especially at the end of hymns and prayers; as "Amen and Amen," Ps 41:13 72:19 89:52. The proper signification of it here is, to confirm the words which have preceded, assert the sincerity and invoke the fulfilment of them: so it is, so be it, let it be…

λέγω (legō) is a primary Greek verb meaning 'to say' or 'to speak.' It encompasses a range of uses, including expressing thoughts, making declarations, and narrating events. The New Testament frequently employs it in direct speech and as a way to convey meaning, such as in Matthew 27:11. Abbott-Smith notes its distinction from similar verbs like λαλέω.
In dealing with synonyms of the N. T. we plainly need not concern ourselves with such earlier, or even contemporary, uses of the words which we are discriminating, as lie altogether outside of the N. T. sphere, when these uses do not illustrate, and have not affected, their Scriptural employment. It follows from this that all those contemptuous uses of λαλεῖν as to talk at random, as one ἀθυρόστομος, or with no door to his lips, might do; of λαλιά, as chatter («Kpacia λόγου ἄλογος, Plato, Defin. 416)—for I cannot believe that we are to find this at John iv. 42—may be dismissed and set aside. The antithesis in the line of Eupolis (Meineke, /ragm. Com. Gr. p. 174), Λαλεῖν ἄριστος, ἀδυνατώτατος λέγειν, does little or nothing to illustrate the matter in hand. The distinction which indeed exists between the words may in this way be made clear. There are two leading aspects under which speech…

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.
οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),

absol. (accented), οὔ, no: Mt 13:29, Jo 1:21 21:5; οὒ οὔ, Mt 5:37, Ja 5:12.
οὐ before a consonant, οὐκ before a vowel with a smooth breathing, and ody before an aspirated vowel ; but sometimes in the best codd. οὐχ occurs even before a smooth breathing; accordingly LT WH mrg. have adopted οὐχ ἰδού, Acts ii. 7; LT οὐχ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, Gal. ii. 14 (see WH.

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete.

The Greek word ἐξέρχομαι, transliterated as exerchomai, is built from the prefix ἐξ meaning 'out of' and the root ἔρχομαι meaning 'to come' or 'to go.' It generally means to go or come out of a place, and can also refer to escaping, departing, or proceeding.

The Greek word ἐκεῖθεν (i.e., *ekeithen*) is an adverb meaning 'thence' or 'from that place.' It is used in the New Testament to indicate both physical location and time, as seen in verses like Matthew 4:21 and Mark 6:1. The word is derived from ἐκεῖ (i.e., *eke*) and has various applications in classical literature, often contrasting with ἐκεῖσε.
ἐκεῖθεν, adv. of place, thence, from that place, [A. V. sometimes from thence]: Mt. iv. 21; Mk. vi. 1; Lk. ix. 4; Jn. iv. 43; Acts xiii.4; and often in the historical bks. of the N. T. οἱ ἐκεῖθεν elliptically for οἱ ἐκεῖθεν διαβῆναι θέλοντες, Lk. xvi. 26 (where L WH om. oi).
ἐκεῖθεν (= Selections, p. 103) the word is used somewhat pleonastically—memAdvykay ἡμῶς (ἡμᾶς) ἐκε[1], τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὅτι (1. ὅτε) ἔπλευσες, ‘they deceived us there on the 12th, the day you sailed.” For the laxer use = ἐκεῖσε, as in Rom. 15**, cf. P Meyer 208 (1st half iii/A.D.) ἵνα ἐκεῖ πέμπω τὰς ἔπιστολάς. For a contrast with ἐνταῦθα, see Prezsigke 100219 f. (time of Diocletian ἢ) τὰ ἐκεῖ θαύματ[α] εἶδον kal τὰ ἐνταῦθα. The word is MGr.

The Greek word ἄν, a conditional particle, indicates supposition or possibility and is often untranslatable in English. It is used in various grammatical constructions, particularly in hypothetical sentences, to express what would occur under certain conditions. The New Testament employs it in verses like Luke 7:39 and Galatians 1:10, illustrating its role in conditional statements.
ἄν,
conditional particle,
which cannot usually be separately translated in English, its force depending on the constructions which contain it (see further, LS, s.v.; WM, §xlii; M, Pr., 165 ff.; MM, VGT, s.v.).
In apodosis,
ἄν, a particle indicating that something can or could occur on certain conditions, or by the combination of certain fortuitous causes. In Lat. it has no equivalent ; nor do the Eng. haply, perchance, Germ. wohl (wol), etwa, exactly and everywhere correspond to it. The use of this particle in the N. T., illustrated by copious exx. fr: Grk. writ., is shown by W. § 42; [ef. B. 216 (186) 544. Its use in classic Grk. is fully exhibited (by Prof. Goodwin) in L. and S. s. v.]. It is joined 1. in the apodoses of hypothetical sentences 1. with the Impf., where the Lat. uses the impf. subjunctive, e. g.

The Greek word ἀποδίδωμι (i.e. *apodidōmi*) means to give back, restore, or repay. It encompasses a range of meanings including discharging debts, rendering accounts, and fulfilling obligations. The New Testament frequently uses it in contexts of payment and recompense, as seen in Matthew 5:26 and Romans 12:17. It can also imply selling something in the middle voice, as noted in Acts 5:8.

Thus ἀπόδος τῷ ϑεῖνι is the direction on the back of a letter, e.g. P Oxy II. 2932 (A.D. 27) ἀπόδο(ς) παρὰ Διον[υσίου] Διδύμῃ τῆι ἀδελφῇ] ; see also Wilcken Archiv v. p. 238 for the use of ἀπόδος to denote the transmission of an official document.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ἔσχατος (i.e., *eschatos*) means 'last' or 'utmost.' It can refer to the final position in space or time, as well as the lowest rank or degree. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts discussing the end times and the last days, such as in Matthew 12:45 and 1 Peter 1:20. The lexicons generally agree on its meanings and applications.

κοδράντης refers to a small Roman coin, specifically a quadrans, which is one-fourth of an as. It is noted in the New Testament in Matthew 5:26 and Mark 12:42 as the smallest denomination mentioned, equivalent to two λεπτά. There is some discussion about its equivalence to other coins, but the primary meaning remains consistent across entries.
κοδράντης, -ov [B. 17 (16)], 6; a Lat. word, guadrans (i. e. the fourth part of an as); in the N. T.a coin equal to one half the Attic chaleus or to two λεπτά (see λεπτόν): Mk. xii. 42; Mt. v.26. The word is fully discussed by Fischer, De vitiis lexx. N. T. p. 447 sqq. [A. V. farthing; see BB. DD. s. v.]
κοδράντης, a Hellenized form of γιααγαις (Mt 5325), for which Luke (1259) with his characteristic avoidance of Aramaic and Latin words (see Thumb /e//en. p. 184) substitutes λεπτόν, which was 4 guwadrans (cf. Mk 1243).
