Luke 12:54-56
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?
