This verse is very similar to Luke 12:58. In the Gospel of Matthew this verse could be interpreted as practical advice for staying out of prison. In Luke the context makes clear that it is an eschatological metaphor, with the judge being God and prison eternal punishment. [1] Most interpret Matthew the same way.
While the Bible very clearly condones and commands capital punishment, there are verses that can be interpreted as opposing the practice. For example, when Cain murdered Abel, God sentenced him to wandering as a fugitive rather than to death, and even issued a warning against killing Cain. A similar sentiment is suggested in Proverbs 28:17.
The word translated as fool is the Greek moros, which has a similar meaning to the Aramaic reka. However moros also was used to mean godless, and thus could be much more severe a term than reka. The reading of godless can explain why the punishment is more severe. [11] Jesus uses the term himself in Matthew 23:17 when he is deriding the Pharisees.
Ephesians 4 is the fourth chapter of the Epistle to the Ephesians in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.Traditionally, it is believed to have been written by Apostle Paul while he was in prison in Rome (around AD 62), but more recently, it has been suggested that it was written between AD 80 and 100 by another writer using Paul's name and style.
Matthew 4:12 is the twelfth verse of the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.

Jesus' ministry in Galilee extends from this verse as far as Matthew 18:35.
Matthew 5:26 is the twenty-sixth verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus has just warned that if you do not reconcile with your enemies a judge is likely to throw you in jail. In this verse Jesus mentions that your debts must be paid completely before one can leave.

The verse is similar to Mark 9:47, and a version much closer to that in Mark appears at Matthew 18:9. [1] This verse, along with the next one, is the most extreme part of the Sermon on the Mount. R. T. France notes that the severity of this verse is unparalleled in the contemporary literature. [2] It advocates an action that is extremely drastic.
