Luke 12:56-58

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵⁶ You playactors (hypocrites)! You know how [intelligently] to discern and interpret and ^[a]prove the looks of the earth and sky; but how is it that you do not know how to discern and interpret and apply the proof to this present time?

⁵⁷ And why do you not judge what is just and personally decide what is right?

⁵⁸ Then as you go with your accuser before a magistrate, on the way make a diligent effort to settle and be quit (free) of him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison.
