Lucas 12:54

Señales de los tiempos

54 Luego añadió Jesús, dirigiéndose a la multitud:—Cuando ustedes ven que se levanta una nube en el occidente, en seguida dicen: “Va a llover”, y así sucede.

Lucas 12:54 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:54

And he said also to the people
For what Christ had before said, were chiefly, if not solely, directed to his disciples; but now he turned himself to the innumerable multitude that were about him, and particularly addressed himself to the Scribes and Pharisees that were among them:

when ye see a cloud rise out of the west;
the watery vapours being attracted by the heat of the sun, out of the Mediterranean Sea, which lies west of the land of Judea, and formed into a cloud, and drove by the wind:

straightway ye say there comes a shower;
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.

Lucas 12:54 In-Context

52 De ahora en adelante estarán divididos cinco en una familia, tres contra dos, y dos contra tres.

53 Se enfrentarán el padre contra su hijo y el hijo contra su padre, la madre contra su hija y la hija contra su madre, la suegra contra su nuera y la nuera contra su suegra.

54 Luego añadió Jesús, dirigiéndose a la multitud:—Cuando ustedes ven que se levanta una nube en el occidente, en seguida dicen: “Va a llover”, y así sucede.

55 Y cuando sopla el viento del sur, dicen: “Va a hacer calor”, y así sucede.

56 ¡Hipócritas! Ustedes saben interpretar la apariencia de la tierra y del cielo. ¿Cómo es que no saben interpretar el tiempo actual?
