Christ Brings Division
49 a“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
51 aDo you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, bbut rather division.
52 aFor from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.
53 aFather will 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.”
Discern the Time
54 Then He also said to the multitudes, a“Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming’; and so it is.
