* He said to the multitudes also , "When you see a cloud rising from the west , immediately you say , 'A shower is coming ,' and so it happens . * When a south wind blows , you say , 'There will be a scorching heat ,' and it happens . * You hypocrites ! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky , but how is it that you don 't interpret this time ? * Why don 't you judge for yourselves what is right ? * For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate , try diligently on the way to be released from him , lest perhaps he drag you to the judge , and the judge deliver you to the officer , and the officer throw you into prison . * I tell you , you will by no means get out of there , until you have paid the very last penny . {literally , lepton . A lepton is a very small brass Jewish coin worth half a Roman quadrans each , which is worth a quarter of the copper assarion . Lepta are worth less than 1 % of an agricultural worker 's daily wages .}"
