| Luke 12:54 | And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising out of the west, presently you say: A shower is coming: and so it happeneth: Matthew 16:2. | In these words he reproaches them, that they knew well enough how to judge of the weather by the appearance of the heavens; but were ignorant how to distinguish the times: that is could not discern that the time marked by the prophets, for the coming of the Messias, was accomplished. In Palestine, the Mediterranean Sea, which was to the west, was accustomed to send clouds and rain; and the south winds, which came from Arabia and Egypt, very warm countries, caused dryness and heat.
