Luke 12:54-59

New American Standard Bible

⁵⁴ And He was also saying to the crowds, “^(A)Whenever you see a cloud rising ^[a]in the west, you immediately say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. ⁵⁵ And whenever you feel a ^[b]south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a ^(B)hot day,’ and it turns out that way. ⁵⁶ You hypocrites! ^(C)You 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 ^(D)why do you not even judge by yourselves what is right? ⁵⁸ For ^(E)when you are going with your accuser to appear before the magistrate, on the way, make an effort to ^[c]settle 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. ⁵⁹ I tell you, you will not get out of there until you have paid up ^[d]the very last ^[e](F)lepton.”
