Matius 5:26

5:26 I tell you the truth, ¹  you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny! ² 

Matius 14:21

14:21 Not counting women and children, there were about five thousand men who ate.

[5:26]  ¹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[5:26]  ² tn Here the English word “penny” is used as opposed to the parallel in Luke 12:59 where “cent” appears since the Greek word there is different and refers to a different but similar coin.

[5:26]  sn The penny here was a quadrans, a Roman copper coin worth 1/64 of a denarius (L&N 6.78). The parallel passage in Luke 12:59 mentions the lepton, equal to one-half of a quadrans and thus the smallest coin available.
