Luke 12:56
You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
What it says
Jesus rebukes them for judging earth and sky well but failing to judge the present time.
What it is doing
The verse turns their skill in observation against their spiritual dullness.
In context

You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
