Luke 12:48-57

⁴⁸while one who does not know his master's wishes, but acts so as to deserve a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone to whom much has been given much will be expected, and from the man to whom much has been entrusted the more will be demanded.

⁴⁹I came to cast fire on the earth; and what more can I wish, if it is already kindled?

⁵⁰There is a baptism that I must undergo, and how great is my distress until it is over!

⁵¹Do you think that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but to cause division.

⁵²For from this time, if there are five people in a house, they will be divided, three against two, and two against three.

⁵³Father will be opposed to son and son to father, mother to daughter and daughter to mother, mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law.”

⁵⁴And to the people Jesus said, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once ‘There is a storm coming,’ and come it does.

⁵⁵And when you see that the wind is in the south, you say ‘It will be burning hot,’ and so it proves.

⁵⁶Hypocrites! You know how to judge of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you cannot judge of this time?

⁵⁷Why don't you yourselves decide what is right?
