For 22 October 2010, Friday of the 29th Week, based on Luke 12:54-59
Jesus also said to the crowds, ‘When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, “It is going to rainâ€; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, “There will be scorching heatâ€; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
‘And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? Thus, when you go with your accuser before a magistrate, on the way make an effort to settle the case, or you may be dragged before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you in prison. I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.’
