Lucas 12:54

Os Sinais dos Tempos

54 Dizia ele à multidão: “Quando vocês veem uma nuvem se levantando no ocidente, logo dizem: ‘Vai chover’, e assim acontece.

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 agora em diante haverá cinco numa família divididos uns contra os outros: três contra dois e dois contra três.

53 Estarão divididos pai contra filho e filho contra pai, mãe contra filha e filha contra mãe, sogra contra nora e nora contra sogra”.

54 Dizia ele à multidão: “Quando vocês veem uma nuvem se levantando no ocidente, logo dizem: ‘Vai chover’, e assim acontece.

55 E quando sopra o vento sul, vocês dizem: ‘Vai fazer calor’, e assim ocorre.

56 Hipócritas! Vocês sabem interpretar o aspecto da terra e do céu. Como não sabem interpretar o tempo presente?
