Contextual Overview

⁵⁴ Then Jesus said to the people, "When you see clouds coming up in the west, you say, ‘It's going to rain,' and it happens. ⁵⁵ When you feel the wind begin to blow from the south, you say, ‘It will be a hot day,' and it happens. ⁵⁶ Hypocrites! You know how to understand the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don't you understand what is happening now? ⁵⁷ "Why can't you decide for yourselves what is right? ⁵⁸ If your enemy is taking you to court, try hard to settle it on the way. If you don't, your enemy might take you to the judge, and the judge might turn you over to the officer, and the officer might throw you into jail. ⁵⁹ I tell you, you will not get out of there until you have paid everything you owe."

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Job 37:17

Reciprocal: Acts 27:13 - the south

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when ye see the south wind blow,.... From the hot countries of Egypt, Ethiopia, and Arabia, which lay south of Judea:

ye say there will be heat; or hot sultry weather, scorching heat, which such a wind brings with it:

and it cometh to pass; generally speaking, as is asserted.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 16:2-3.

South wind - To the south and southwest of Judea were situated Arabia, Egypt, and Ethiopia, all warm or hot regions, and consequently the air that came from those quarters was greatly heated.

How is it that ye do not discern this time! - You see a cloud rise, and predict a shower; a south wind, and expect heat. These are regular events. So you see my miracles; you hear my preaching; you have the predictions of me in the prophets; why do you not, in like manner, infer that “this is the time” when the Messiah should appear?
