Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
And honestly, why can't you figure out what's right on your own? You have the ability to think this through yourself.
Trust your moral compass, you already know what's right.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Luke, written around 60 AD, Jesus is speaking to a crowd in first-century Judea during His ministry, where He often addressed everyday observations to reveal deeper spiritual truths. This verse follows Jesus' criticism of people who could predict weather patterns but ignored the signs of God's kingdom, highlighting a cultural tendency to focus on the immediate rather than the eternal. It reflects the broader biblical narrative of Jesus challenging religious hypocrisy and urging personal responsibility in a society under Roman rule.
