The Lord said, "Every one to whom much is given, of him will much be
required; and of him to whom men commit much they will demand the more. I
came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already
kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how I am constrained
until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace
on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; for henceforth in one
house there will be five divided, three against two and two against
three; they will 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."
He also said to the multitudes, "When you see a cloud rising in the
west, you say at once, 'A shower is coming'; and so it happens. And
when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be scorching
heat'; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the
appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the
present time?
And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? As you go with
your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him
on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you
over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. I tell you,
you will never get out till you have paid the very last copper."
