Luke 12:54 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:54

as soon as it is seen, it is presently concluded and affirmed, that a very heavy shower will soon fall, it having been frequently observed so to do, when this has been the case:

and so it is;
for the most part, there commonly follows a large shower on such an appearance, and they were seldom mistaken in their conclusions.

55 and when the wind is from the south, you say there will be a heat wave, and there is.

56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky -- how is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time?
