Luke 12:51-59

51 Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division:
52 for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided against two, and two against three:
53 father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens.
55 And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens.
56 Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how [is it then that] ye do not discern this time?
57 And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.
