49I am come to send wfire on the earth; xand what will I, if it be already kindled? 50But I have ya baptism to be baptized with; and zhow am I ||astraitened btill it be accomplished! 51cSuppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather wdivision: 52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53The father shall be divided against the son, and dthe son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

54And he said also to the people, eWhen ye see fa cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. 55And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be gheat; and it cometh to pass. 56hYe hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? 57Yea, and why even iof yourselves judge ye not what is right?
