Read in context

Luke 12:55–59 · Berean Standard Bible

55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?

57 And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58 Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
