Luke 12:55

55 And when you feel the south wind blowing, you say that it is going to get hot - and it does.

Luke 12:55 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:55

And when ye see the south wind blow
From the hot countries of Egypt, Ethiopia, and Arabia, which lay south of Judea:

ye say there will be heat;
or hot sultry weather, scorching heat, which such a wind brings with it:

and it cometh to pass;
generally speaking, as is asserted.

Luke 12:55 In-Context

53 Fathers will be against their sons, and sons against their fathers; mothers will be against their daughters, and daughters against their mothers; mothers-in-law will be against their daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law against their mothers-in-law."
54 Jesus said also to the people, "When you see a cloud coming up in the west, at once you say that it is going to rain - and it does.
55 And when you feel the south wind blowing, you say that it is going to get hot - and it does.
56 Hypocrites! You can look at the earth and the sky and predict the weather; why, then, don't you know the meaning of this present time?
57 "Why do you not judge for yourselves the right thing to do?
