You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time? — the present time (kairos) is the decisive moment of opportunity: the kingdom has come near, the Messiah stands in Israel's midst, and the refusal to interpret is itself a decision. The hypocrites rebuke identifies their failure to read the kairos as a form of willful blindness.
