Luke 12:48-57

⁴⁸but the servant who didn't know and did things deserving punishment will be beaten only lightly. From those who are given much, much will be required, and from those who are entrusted with more, more will be demanded.

⁴⁹I have come to set the earth on fire, and I really wish it was already burning!

⁵⁰But I have a baptism to go through, and I'm in agony, wishing it was over!

⁵¹Do you think that I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, I bring division.

⁵²From now on, if there are five in a family, they will be divided against each other: three against two, and two against three.

⁵³They will be divided against each other—father against son, son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

⁵⁴Then Jesus spoke to the crowds. “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, ‘a rain-shower's coming,’ and it happens.

⁵⁵When a south wind blows, you say ‘it's going to be hot,’ and it is.

⁵⁶You hypocrites, how is it that you know how to rightly interpret the weather but you don't know how to interpret the present time?

⁵⁷Why don't you think for yourselves and judge what's the right thing to do?
