51Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
52From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
54Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
55And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’ t you know how to interpret the present time?
57And why don’ t you judge for yourselves what is right?
— Luke 12:51-57
