Luke 12:49–59

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? ⁵⁸For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. ⁵⁹I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.
