Not Peace, But a Sword of Divisiveness
49“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish that it had been kindled already! 50But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am distressed until it is accomplished! 51Do you think that I have come to grant peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! 52For from now on there will be five in one household, divided three against two and two against three. 53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
The Signs of the Times
54And he also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud coming up in the west, you say at once, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and so it happens. 55And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be burning heat,’ and it happens. 56Hypocrites! You know how to evaluate the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it you do not know how to evaluate this present time?
Settle Accounts Quickly
57And why do you not also judge for yourselves what is right?
