Luke 12:49-56
49"I came to throw fire on the earth, I wish it were already kindled.
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52For from now on, there will be five in one house 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 her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law."
54He said to the multitudes also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, `A shower is coming,` and so it happens.
55When a south wind blows, you say, `There will be a scorching heat,` and it happens.
56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don`t interpret this time?
