And he said also to the people,
When you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
All Commentaries on Luke 12:54 Go To Luke 12
Bede
AD 735

But lest any of the people should allege their ignorance of the prophetical books as areason why they could not discern the courses of the times, He carefully adds, And why even of yourselves judge you not what is right, showing them that although unlearned they might still by their natural ability discern Him, who did works such as none other man did, to be above man, and to be God, and that therefore after the injustice of this world, the just judgment of the creation would come.
