Luke 12:49–59

⁴⁹I am come to cast fire on the earth. And what will I, but that it be kindled?

⁵⁰And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized. And how am I straitened until it be accomplished?

⁵¹Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation.

⁵²For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.

⁵³The father shall be divided against the son and the son against his father: the mother against the daughter and the daughter against her mother: the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

⁵⁴And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming. And so it happeneth.

⁵⁵And when ye see the south wind blow, you say: There will be heat. And it cometh to pass.

⁵⁶You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time?

⁵⁷And why, even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just?

⁵⁸And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison.

⁵⁹I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence until thou pay the very last mite.
