Jesus said to the crowds,
“When you see a cloud rising in the west
you say immediately that it is going to rain -- and so it does;
and when you notice that the wind is blowing from the south
you say that it is going to be hot -- and so it is.
You hypocrites!
You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky;
why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
If you are to go with your opponent before a magistrate,
make an effort to settle the matter on the way;
otherwise your opponent will turn you over to the judge,
and the judge hand you over to the constable,
and the constable throw you into prison.
I say to you, you will not be released
until you have paid the last penny.”
