SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:57
¿Y por qu aun de vosotros mismos no juzgis lo que es justo?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 12:57
Verse 57. And why-judge ye] Even without the express declarations of the prophets, ye might, from what ye see and hear yourselves, discern that God has now visited his people in such a manner as he never did before.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 57. Yea, and why even of yourselves , etc.] From their own observation, as in discerning the signs of the weather; in a rational way, by the light of reason, and according to the dictates of their own consciences; by what they themselves saw and heard; by the signs and wonders which were done, they might have concluded, that now was the time of the Messiah's coming; and that he was come, and that Jesus of Nazareth was he: this was as easy, by observation, to be discerned, as the face of the sky was; even of themselves, without any hints or directions from others: judge ye not what is right ? or truth, as the Syriac and Persic versions render it; concerning the present time, the coming of the Messiah, and the accomplishment of the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament in him: or why do ye not of yourselves judge, what is fit and right to be done between man and man, without going to law? and that, in cases which are plain and clear, the consequences of which may be as easily discerned, as what weather it will be by the signs in the heavens; to which sense the following words incline.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 54-59 - Christ would have the people to be as wise in the concerns of their souls as they are in outward affairs. Let them hasten to obtain peac with God before it is too late. If any man has found that God has se himself against him concerning his sins, let him apply to him as God in Christ reconciling the world to himself. While we are alive, we are in the way, and now is our time __________________________________________________________________

57. Of yourselves. In the exercise of your ordinary habits of observation which you apply to the heavens.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
12:57 {Even of yourselves} (kai af' heautwn). Without the presence and teaching of Jesus they had light enough to tell what is right (to dikaion) and so without excuse as Paul argued in #Ro 1-3.
