⁴⁹I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled? ⁵⁰But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished! ⁵¹Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division: ⁵²for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided against two, and two against three: ⁵³father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

⁵⁴And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens. ⁵⁵And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens. ⁵⁶Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how is it then that ye do not discern this time? ⁵⁷And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

Read in Logos

Luke 12:51: “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.”
