49 I have come to cast fire into the earth; and what will I if it has been already lighted up! 50 And I have an immersion to be immersed with; and how am I pressed together till it should be finished! 51 Think ye that I came to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you; but rather division: 52 For from now shall five be in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 Father shall 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. 54 And he said to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising from the descents, ye say quickly, A heavy shower of rain is coming; and it is so. 55 And when the south wind blowing, ye say, That there will be heat; and it is. 56 O hypocrites, ye know to judge the face of the earth and of heaven; and how do ye not judge this time? 57 And why also of yourselves judge ye not the just thing? 58 For when thou retirest with thine adversary to the ruler, in the way give labor to be released from him; lest he drag thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the avenger, and the avenger cast thee into prison. 59 I say to thee, thou shouldest not come out thence, even till also thou shouldest give back the last small coin.
