48But he who did not know, yet did things worthy of blows, will be beaten with few. Everyone to whom much has been given, from him much will be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him much more will be asked.
49“I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
50But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed!
51Do you imagine that I came to provide peace on the earth? Not at all, I tell you, but rather division.
52Because from now on there will be five in one house divided: three against two and two against three.
53Father will be divided 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 her mother-in-law.”
54Then He also said to the crowds: “Whenever you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and so it does.
55And whenever a south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it happens.
56Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky and of the earth, so how can you not discern this time?
57Also why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?
