Luke 12:49-56
Not Peace, but Division"I came to cast on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give on earth? No, I tell you, but rather . For from now on in one house there will be five , three against two and two against three. They 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." He also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, 'A shower is .' And so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be scorching heat,' and it happens. You ! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?"
