Luke 12:54-59 ▼

54 And He was also saying to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.

55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a hot day,’ and it happens.

56 You hypocrites! You know how to examine the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not examine this present time?

57 “And why do you not even judge for yourselves what is right?

58 For while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on your way there make an effort to settle with him, so that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

59 I say to you, you will not get out of there until you have paid the last lepton.”
