Leviticus 6:24-30 and Luke 12:54-59 (NLT)

Leviticus 6:24-30
The Sin Offering
24  Then the Lord said to Moses,
25  “Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the sin offering. The animal given as an offering for sin is a most holy offering, and it must be slaughtered in the Lord’s presence at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered.
26  The priest who offers the sacrifice as a sin offering must eat his portion in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.
27  Anyone or anything that touches the sacrificial meat will become holy. If any of the sacrificial blood spatters on a person’s clothing, the soiled garment must be washed in a sacred place.
28  If a clay pot is used to boil the sacrificial meat, it must then be broken. If a bronze pot is used, it must be scoured and thoroughly rinsed with water.
29  Any male from a priest’s family may eat from this offering; it is most holy.
30  But the offering for sin may not be eaten if its blood was brought into the Tabernacle as an offering for purification in the Holy Place. It must be completely burned with fire.

Luke 12:54-59
Interpreting the Times

54  Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “When you see clouds beginning to form in the west, you say, ‘Here comes a shower.’ And you are right. 
55  When the south wind blows, you say, ‘Today will be a scorcher.’ And it is. 
56  You fools! You know how to interpret the weather signs of the earth and sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the present times.
57  “Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right? 
58  When you are on the way to court with your accuser, try to settle the matter before you get there. Otherwise, your accuser may drag you before the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, who will throw you into prison. 
59  And if that happens, you won’t be free again until you have paid the very last penny.”
