Murder
"You have heard that it was
said to the ancient ones, 'You shall not murder;' and 'Whoever shall murder
shall be in danger of the judgment.' But I tell you, that everyone who
is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the
judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca!'
shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!'
shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
"If therefore you are
offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has
anything against you, leave your gift there before the
altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come
and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary
quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor
deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and
you be cast into prison. Most certainly I tell you, you
shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last penny.
