Luke 12:54-56

Interpreting the Time

54 He also said to the crowds: "When you see a cloud rising in the west, right away you say, 'A storm is coming,' and so it does.
55 And when the south wind is blowing, you say, 'It's going to be a scorcher!' and it is.
56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why don't you know how to interpret this time?
