Luke 12:49-59

49“I have come to bring fire on the earth – and how I wish it were already kindled!

50I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is finished!

51Do you think I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!

52For from now on there will be five in one household divided, three against two and two against three.

53They will be divided, father 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 mother-in-law.”

54Jesus also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and it does.

55And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and there is.

56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how can you not know how to interpret the present time?

57“And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58As you are going with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, so that he will not drag you before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

59I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the very last cent!”
