Luke 12

49 Ref I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?

50 Ref But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

51 Ref Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 Ref for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53 Ref They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.

54 Ref And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.

55 Ref And when `ye see' a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass.

56 Ref Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time?

57 Ref And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

58 Ref For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.

59 Ref I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.
