49 I have come to send fire on the earth; and what do I will, if it is already kindled? 50 And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it may be perfected! 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I say unto you, Nay, but division. 52 For from now, there shall be five in one house divided, three shall be divided against two, and two against three: 53 the father against the son, and the son against the father; and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law. 54 And he also spoke to the multitudes, When you may see a cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, that the rain cometh; and it is so: 55 and when the south wind is blowing, you say, that it will be hot; and it is so. 56 You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the earth and the firmament; and how do you not discern this time? 57 Why do you not judge righteous judgment, even with reference to yourselves? 58 For as you go with your adversary to the ruler, give attention on the way that you be reconciled with him; lest he may deliver you to the judge, and the judge shall turn you over to the officer, and the officer will cast you into prison. 59 I say unto you, You can by no means come out thence, till you have even paid the last mite.
