Luke 12:48-57

⁴⁸But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

⁴⁹I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.

⁵⁰But there is a baptism which I have to undergo; and how am I kept back till it is complete!

⁵¹Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:

⁵²For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.

⁵³They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.

⁵⁴Then he said to the people, When you see a cloud coming up in the west, straight away you say, There will be rain; and so it is.

⁵⁵And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, There will be heat; and so it is.

⁵⁶O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?

⁵⁷And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right?
