47 And the seruaunt that knewe his maisters wyll, and prepared not hym selfe, neither dyd accordyng to his wyll, shalbe beaten with many strypes. 48 But he that knewe not, and did comit thynges worthy of strypes, shalbe beaten with fewe strypes. For vnto whosoeuer much is geuen, of him shalbe much required: and to whom men haue committed much, of hym wyl they aske the more. 49 I am come to sende fire on ye earth, and what is my desire, but that it be alredye kindled? 50 Notwithstandyng, I must be baptized with a baptisme, and howe am I payned tyll it be ended? 51 Suppose ye that I am come to sende peace on earth? I tell you naye, but rather deuision. 52 For fro hencefoorth there shalbe fyue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three. 53 The father shalbe deuided against the sonne, and the sonne against the father: The mother agaynst the daughter, and the daughter agaynst the mother: The mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe. 54 He sayde also to the people: When ye see a cloude rise out of the west, straightway ye say there cometh a showre, and so it is. 55 And whe ye see the south wynd blow, ye say it wyll be hotte, and it commeth to passe. 56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discerne the outwarde appearaunce of the skye, and of the earth: but howe is it that ye cannot discerne this tyme? 57 Yea, and why iudge ye not of your selues what is ryght? 58 When thou goest with thine aduersarie to the ruler, as thou art in the waye, geue diligence that thou mayest be deliuered from hym, lest he bryng thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the iayler, and the iayler caste thee into prison. 59 I tel thee, thou shalt not depart thence, tyll thou haue made good the vtmost mite.
