Luke 12:54-56

Interpreting the Time

54 He also said to the crowds, ¹"When you see ²a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, 'A shower is coming.' And so it happens.

55 And ³when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be ⁴scorching heat,' and it happens.

56 You hypocrites! ⁵You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
