54And He was alsoG2532 sayingG3004 to the crowdsG3793, “2WheneverG3752 you seeG3708 a cloudG3507 risingG393 3in the westG1424, you immediatelyG2112 sayG3004, ‘A showerG3655 is comingG2064,’ and soG3779 it turnsG1096 outG1096. 55And wheneverG3752 you feel a 4southG3558 windG3558 blowingG4154, you sayG3004, ‘It will be a 5hotG2742 day,’ and it turnsG1096 outG1096 that way. 56You hypocritesG5273! 6You knowG3609 howG3609 to analyzeG1381 the appearanceG4383 of the earthG1093 and the skyG3772, but howG4459 is it that you do not know how to analyzeG1381 thisG3778 present timeG2540?
57“And 7whyG5101 do you not evenG2532 judgeG2919 by yourselvesG1438 whatG3588 is rightG1342? 58For 8whenG5613 you are goingG5217 with your accuserG476 to appear beforeG1909 the magistrateG758, on the wayG3598, makeG1325 an effortG2039 to 9settleG525 with him, soG3379 thatG3379 he does not dragG2694 you beforeG4314 the judgeG2923, and the judgeG2923 handG3860 you overG3860 to the officerG4233, and the officerG4233 throwG906 you into prisonG5438. 59I tellG3004 you, you will not getG1831 outG1831 of thereG1564 untilG2193 you have paidG591 upG591 10the veryG2532 lastG2078 1112leptonG3016.”
