Luke 12:54-59
54And He was also saying to the crowds, “1Whenever you see a cloud rising 2in the west, you immediately say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. 55And whenever you feel a 3south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a 4hot day,’ and it turns out that way. 56You hypocrites! 5You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you do not know how to analyze this present time?
57“And 6why do you not even judge by yourselves what is right? 58For 7when you are going with your accuser to appear before the magistrate, on the way, make an effort to 8settle with him, so that he does not drag you before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59I tell you, you will not get out of there until you have paid up 9the very last 1011lepton.”
