Luke 19 - and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.

I always thought that sounded weaselly. Why the "IF"? Why not say "and the people I cheated I will pay back four times"?

I don't know, maybe it is an artifact of the translation.

Why?

Perhaps because of ‘presumption of innocence’.
