The lord be with you. A reading of the holy gospel according to Saint Luke. Jesus said to the crowds, when you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once that rain is coming. And, so it does. When the wind blows from the south, you say it is going to be hot.
And, so it proves. You hypocrites. If you can interpret the portents of earth and of sky, why can you not interpret the present time? Tell me, why do you not judge for yourselves what is just? When are you going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate?
Try to settle with him on the way. Lest he turn you over to the judge, and the judge deliver you up to the jailer, and the jailer throw you into prison. I warn you, you will not be released from there until you have paid the last penny. This is the gospel of the lord.
