You hypocrites! 1  You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how can you not know how 2  to interpret the present time?

NET Notes

1 sn In Luke, the term hypocrites occurs here, in 6:42, and in 13:15.

2 tc Most mss (Ì45 A W Ψ Ë1,13 Ï lat) have a syntax here that reflects a slightly different rhetorical question: “but how do you not interpret the present time?” The reading behind the translation, however, has overall superior support: Ì75 א B L Θ 33 892 1241 pc.
