Luke 12:54-59

54And He was also saying to the crowds, “1When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. 55And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a 2hot day,’ and it turns out that way. 56You hypocrites! 3You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but 4why do you not analyze this present time?

57“And 5why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right? 58For 6while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on your way there make an effort to 7settle with him, so that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59I say to you, you will not get out of there until you have paid the very last 89cent.”
