Luke 12:54-59

Weymouth New Testament WNT

54 Then He said to the people also, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, `There is to be a shower;' and it comes to pass.

55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, `It will be burning hot;' and it comes to pass.

56 Vain pretenders! You know how to read the aspect of earth and sky. How is it you cannot read this present time?

57 "Why, too, do you not of yourselves arrive at just conclusions?

58 For when, with your opponent, you are going before the magistrate, on the way take pains to get out of his power; for fear that, if he should drag you before the judge, the judge may hand you over to the officer of the court, and the officer lodge you in prison.

59 Never, I tell you, will you get free till you have paid the last farthing."

New International Version NIV

54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.

55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it 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?

57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”
