警戒門徒
12 這時，成千上萬的人聚集在一起，甚至互相踐踏。耶穌先對門徒說：「你們要提防法利賽人的酵，就是他們的偽善。 2 掩蓋的事終會暴露出來，隱藏的秘密終會被人知道。 3 你們在暗處說的，將在明處被人聽見；你們在密室裡的私語，將在屋頂上被人宣揚。
4 「朋友們，我告訴你們，不要懼怕那些殺害人的身體後再也無計可施的人。 5 我告訴你們應該懼怕誰，要懼怕上帝——祂有權終結人的生命，並把人丟在地獄裡。是的，我告訴你們，要懼怕祂！
6 「五隻麻雀不是只賣兩個銅錢嗎？但上帝連一隻麻雀也不會遺忘。 7 其實就連你們的頭髮都被數過了。不要害怕，你們比許多麻雀要貴重！
8 「我告訴你們，凡在人面前承認我的，人子在上帝的天使面前也必承認他。 9 凡在人面前否認我的，人子在上帝的天使面前也要否認他。 10 說話得罪人子的，還可以得到赦免，但褻瀆聖靈的，必得不到赦免！ 11 當人押你們到會堂，或到官員和當權者面前時，不要顧慮如何辯解，或說什麼話， 12 因為到時候聖靈必指示你們當說的話。」
無知富翁的比喻
13 這時，人群中有人對耶穌說：「老師，請你勸勸我的兄長跟我分家產吧。」
14 耶穌答道：「朋友，誰派我作你們的審判官或仲裁，為你們分家產呢？」 15 接著，祂對眾人說：「你們要小心防範一切的貪心，因為人的生命並不在於家道富足。」
16 耶穌又講了一個比喻，說：「有一個富翁，他的田裡大豐收， 17 於是心裡盤算，『我儲藏農產的地方不夠了，怎麼辦呢？』 18 於是他說，『不如把原有的倉庫拆掉，建幾座更大的，好儲藏我所有的糧食和財物！ 19 那時，我就可以對自己說，「你積存這麼多財產，一生享用不盡，現在大可高枕無憂、盡情地吃喝玩樂吧！」』 20 但上帝對他說，『無知的人啊！今晚就要取走你的命！你所預備的一切留給誰享用呢？』」
21 耶穌說：「這就是那些只顧為自己積財、在上帝面前卻不富足之人的寫照。」
不要為衣食憂慮
22 耶穌繼續對門徒說：「所以，我告訴你們，不要為生活憂慮，如吃什麼，也不要為身體憂慮，如穿什麼。 23 因為生命比飲食重要，身體比穿著重要。 24 你們看，烏鴉不種也不收，沒倉也沒庫，上帝尚且養活牠們，你們比飛鳥不知要貴重多少！
25 「你們誰能用憂慮使自己多活片刻呢？ 26 既然你們連這樣的小事都無能為力，又何必為其餘的事憂慮呢？ 27 看看百合花如何生長吧，它們既不勞苦，也不紡織，但我告訴你們，就連所羅門王最顯赫時的穿戴還不如一朵百合花！
28 「野地的草今天還在，明天就要被丟在爐中，上帝還這樣裝扮它們，何況你們呢？你們的信心太小了！ 29 你們不要為吃什麼喝什麼憂慮， 30 因為這些都是外族人的追求，你們的天父知道你們需要這些。 31 你們要尋求祂的國，祂必供給你們的需要。
32 「你們這一小群人啊，不要怕！因為你們的天父樂意把祂的國賜給你們。 33 要變賣你們的家產去賙濟窮人，要為自己預備永不破損的錢袋，在天上積攢取之不盡的財寶，那裡沒有賊偷，也沒有蟲蛀。 34 因為你們的財寶在哪裡，你們的心也在哪裡。
警醒預備
35 「你們要束上腰帶，準備服侍，要點亮燈， 36 像奴僕們等候主人從婚宴回來。主人回來一叩門，奴僕就可以立即給他開門。 37 主人回來，看見奴僕警醒等候，奴僕就有福了！我實在告訴你們，主人必束上腰帶請他們坐席，並親自服侍他們。 38 無論主人在深夜或黎明回家，若發現奴僕警醒等候，奴僕就有福了。
39 「你們都知道，一家的主人若預先知道賊什麼時候來，一定不會讓賊入屋偷竊。 40 同樣，你們也要做好準備，因為在你們意想不到的時候，人子就來了。」
忠僕和惡僕
41 彼得問：「主啊！你這比喻是講給我們聽的，還是講給眾人聽的呢？」
42 主說：「誰是那個受主人委託管理家中大小僕役、按時分糧食給他們、又忠心又精明的管家呢？ 43 主人回家時，看見他盡忠職守，他就有福了。 44 我實在告訴你們，主人一定會把所有產業都交給他管理。 45 但如果他以為主人不會那麼快回來，就毆打僕婢、吃喝醉酒， 46 主人會在他想不到的日子、不知道的時辰回來，嚴厲地懲罰[a]他，使他和不忠不信的人同受嚴刑。 47 明知主人的意思卻不準備，也不遵行主人吩咐的僕人，必受更重的責打。 48 但因不知道而做了該受懲罰之事的僕人，必少受責打。多給誰，就向誰多取；多託付誰，就向誰多要。
家庭分裂
49 「我來是要把火丟在地上，我多麼希望這火已經燃燒起來。 50 我有要受的『洗禮』，我何等迫切地想完成這『洗禮』啊！ 51 你們以為我來是要使天下太平嗎？不，我告訴你們，我來是要使地上起紛爭。 52 從今以後，一家五口會彼此相爭，三個人反對兩個人，或是兩個人反對三個人， 53 父子相爭，母女對立，婆媳反目。」
明辨是非
54 然後，祂又對眾人說：「你們看見雲從西方升起，就說，『快下雨了！』果然如此。 55 南風一起，你們就說，『天必燥熱』，你們也說對了。 56 你們這些偽善的人！既然知道觀察天色、預測天氣，為什麼不知道觀察這個世代呢？ 57 你們為什麼不自己明辨是非呢？ 58 如果你和控告你的人要去對簿公堂，要盡量在路上跟對方和解，以免被拉到審判官面前，審判官派差役把你關進監牢。 59 我告訴你，除非你付清所欠的每一分錢，否則休想出監牢。」

Warnings and Encouragements(A)
12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.(B) 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(C) 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
4 “I tell you, my friends,(D) do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.(E) 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(F) Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(G)
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.(H) 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned(I) before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man(J) will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.(K)
11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,(L) 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”(M)
The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”(N)
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool!(O) This very night your life will be demanded from you.(P) Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’(Q)
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”(R)
Do Not Worry(S)
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.(T) And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[b]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor(U) was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!(V) 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father(W) knows that you need them.(X) 31 But seek his kingdom,(Y) and these things will be given to you as well.(Z)
32 “Do not be afraid,(AA) little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.(AB) 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor.(AC) Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven(AD) that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.(AE) 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.(AF)
Watchfulness(AG)(AH)
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.(AI) Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.(AJ) 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief(AK) was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready,(AL) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42 The Lord(AM) answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.(AN) He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.(AO) 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.(AP) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Not Peace but Division(AQ)
49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism(AR) to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!(AS) 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”(AT)
Interpreting the Times
54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.(AU) 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?(AV)
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.(AW) 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”(AX)

12 And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.
3 For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.
4 And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
9 But he that shall deny me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
11 And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, and to magistrates and powers, be not solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you must say.
13 And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge, or divider, over you?
15 And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for a man's life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth.
16 And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.
17 And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy rest; eat, drink, make good cheer.
20 But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22 And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
23 The life is more than the meat, and the body is more than the raiment.
24 Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they?
25 And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
28 Now if God clothe in this manner the grass that is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more you, O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
31 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.
33 Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.
36 And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
40 Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.
41 And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all?
42 And the Lord said: Who (thinkest thou) is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord setteth over his family, to give them their measure of wheat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing.
44 Verily I say to you, he will set him over all that he possesseth.
45 But if that servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming; and shall begin to strike the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and to drink and be drunk:
46 The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not, and at the hour that he knoweth not, and shall separate him, and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers.
47 And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
49 I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?
50 And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized: and how am I straitened until it be accomplished?
51 Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation.
52 For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against his father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming: and so it happeneth:
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, you say: There will be heat: and it cometh to pass.
56 You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time?
57 And why even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just?
58 And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison.
59 I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence, until thou pay the very last mite.

Лука 12
Библия, синодално издание
12 (A)Между това, когато се събра народ с десетки хиляди, тъй че се тъпчеха един други, Той заговори първом на учениците Си: пазете се от фарисейския квас, който е лицемерие.
2 (B)Няма нищо скрито, което да се не открие, и тайно, което да се не узнае;
3 затова, каквото сте казали в тъмно, то ще се чуе на видело; и каквото сте казали на ухо в скривалищата, то ще бъде разгласено от покривите.
4 (C)А на вас, Моите приятели, казвам: не бойте се от тия, които убиват тялото и сетне не могат нищо повече да сторят;
5 но ще ви покажа, от кого да се боите: бойте се от Оногова, Който след убиването има власт да хвърли в геената; да, казвам ви, от Него се бойте.
6 (D)Не пет ли врабчета се продават за два асария? И ни едно от тях не е забравено от Бога.
7 (E)А вам и космите на главата са всички преброени. И тъй, не бойте се: от много врабчета вие сте по-ценни.
8 (F)И казвам ви: всеки, който Мене признае пред човеците, и Син Човеческий ще признае него пред Божиите Ангели;
9 (G)а който се отрече от Мене пред човеците, той ще бъде отречен пред Божиите Ангели.
10 (H)И всекиму, който каже дума против Сина Човечески, ще бъде простено; а на оногова, който каже хула против Духа Светаго, няма да се прости.
11 (I)А кога ви заведат в синагогите и при началствата и властите, не се грижете, как или що да отговорите, или що да кажете;
12 защото Дух Светий ще ви научи в същия час, какво трябва да кажете.
13 Някой пък от народа Му рече: Учителю, кажи на брата ми, да раздели с мене наследството.
14 А Той му рече: човече, кой Ме е поставил да ви съдя или деля?
15 (J)При това им рече: гледайте и се пазете от користолюбие, защото животът на човека не се състои в това да преумножава имотите си.
16 И каза им притча, като рече: на един богат човек нивата се бе много обродила;
17 и той размишляваше в себе си и казваше: какво да направя? няма де да събера плодовете си.
18 И рече: това ще сторя: ще съборя житниците си и ще съградя по-големи, и ще събера там всичките си храни и благата си,
19 (K)и ще кажа на душата си: душо, имаш много блага, приготвени за много години: почивай, яж, пий, весели се.
20 (L)Но Бог му рече: безумнико, нощес ще ти поискат душата; а това, що си приготвил, кому ще остане?
21 (M)Тъй бива с тогова, който събира имане за себе си, а не богатее в Бога.
22 (N)И рече на учениците Си: затова ви казвам: не се грижете за душата си, какво да ядете, ни за тялото, какво да облечете:
23 душата струва повече от храната, и тялото – от облеклото.
24 (O)Погледнете враните, че не сеят, нито жънат; те нямат ни скривалище, ни житница, и Бог ги храни; а колко сте вие по-ценни от птиците!
25 Па и кой от вас, грижейки се, може да придаде на ръста си един лакът?
26 И тъй, ако и най-малкото не можете направи, защо се грижите за другото?
27 Погледнете криновете, как растат: не се трудят, нито предат; но казвам ви, че нито Соломон във всичката си слава не се е облякъл тъй, както всеки един от тях.
28 И ако пък тревата на полето, която днес я има, а утре се хвърля в пещ, Бог тъй облича, то колко повече вас, маловерци!
29 Затова и вие не търсете, какво да ядете, или какво да пиете, и не се загрижайте,
30 защото всичко това търсят езичниците на света; а вашият Отец знае, че вие имате нужда от това;
31 (P)но вие търсете царството Божие, и всичко това ще ви се придаде.
32 Не бой се, малко стадо! Понеже вашият Отец благоволи да ви даде царството.
33 (Q)Продайте си имотите и дайте милостиня. Пригответе си кесии, които да не овехтяват, съкровище на небесата, което да се не изчерпя, където крадец не приближава, и което молец не поврежда;
34 защото, дето е съкровището ви, там ще бъде и сърцето ви.
35 (R)Да бъде кръстът ви препасан, и светилниците ви запалени;
36 и вие ще приличате на ония човеци, които очакват господаря си, кога ще се върне от сватба, за да му отворят веднага, щом дойде и почука.
37 Блазе на ония слуги, чийто господар ги намери будни, кога си дойде; истина ви казвам, той ще се препаше, и ще ги тури да седнат, и като пристъпи, ще им служи.
38 И ако дойде на втора стража, и на трета стража дойде, и ги намери тъй, блазе на тия слуги.
39 (S)Знайте и това, че, ако стопанинът на къщата знаеше, в кой час ще дойде крадецът, той щеше да стои буден и нямаше да остави да му подкопаят къщата.
40 Бъдете, прочее, и вие готови, понеже, в който час не мислите, ще дойде Син Човеческий.
41 Тогава Петър Му рече: Господи, за нас ли казваш тая притча, или за всички?
42 (T)А Господ рече: кой ли е оня верен и благоразумен домакин, когото господарят му е поставил над слугите си, за да им раздава навреме уречената храна?
43 Блазе на оня слуга, чийто господар, кога дойде, го намери, че постъпва тъй;
44 истина ви казвам, че той ще постави него над целия си имот.
45 Ако пък оня слуга каже в сърцето си: скоро няма да дойде господарят ми, и почне да бие слуги и слугини, да яде и да пие, и да се напива, –
46 господарят на тоя слуга ще дойде в ден, в който не очаква, и в час, който не знае, и ще го отдели и подложи на еднаква участ с неверните.
47 (U)А оня слуга, който е знаял волята на господаря си, и не е бил готов, и не е постъпвал по волята му, ще бъде бит много;
48 който пък не е знаял и е направил нещо достойно за наказание, ще бъде бит малко. И от всекиго, комуто е много дадено, много и ще се иска, и комуто много е поверено, от него повече ще се изисква.
49 Огън дойдох да туря на земята, и колко бих желал да беше вече пламнал!
50 (V)С кръщение трябва да се кръстя; и колко Ми е мъка, докато се свърши това!
51 (W)Мислите, че дойдох мир да дам на земята? Не, казвам ви, а – раздяла;
52 защото отсега петима в една къща ще бъдат разделени, трима против двама, и двама против трима;
53 (X)баща ще бъде против син, и син против баща; майка против дъщеря, и дъщеря против майка; свекърва против снаха си, и снаха против свекърва си.
54 (Y)Заговори и към народа: кога видите облак да се дига от запад, тозчас казвате: дъжд ще вали; тъй и бива;
55 а кога видите да духа южен вятър, казвате: жега ще бъде; и бива.
56 Лицемерци, лицето на земята и небето умеете да разпознавате, а това време как не узнавате?
57 А защо и сами от себе си не съдите, що е право?
58 (Z)Кога отиваш с противника си при началството, постарай се по пътя да се освободиш от него, за да те не откара при съдията, и съдията да те не предаде на мъчител, а мъчителят да те не хвърли в тъмница;
59 казвам ти: няма да излезеш оттам, докле не върнеш и последната стотинка.
