Luke 12:54 Context
52For from henceforth there shalbe fiue in one house diuided, three against two, and two against three. 53The father shall bee diuided against the sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in law against her mother in lawe. 54¶ And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the West, straightway yee say, There commeth a showre, and so it is. 55And when ye see the Southwind blow, ye say, There will be heat, and it commeth to passe. 56Ye hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the skie, and of the earth: but how is it that yee doe not discerne this time?
