49. Jesus continued speaking, “I came to set fire to the world. I wish it were already burning!
50. I must be baptized with a different kind of baptism. I feel very troubled until it is over.
51. Do you think that I came to give peace to the world? No! I came to divide the world!
52. From now on, a family with five people will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
53. A father and son will be divided: The son will be against his father. The father will be against his son. A mother and her daughter will be divided: The daughter will be against her mother. The mother will be against her daughter. A mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law will be divided: The daughter-in-law will be against her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law will be against her daughter-in-law.”
54. Then Jesus said to the people, “When you see clouds coming up in the west, you say, ‘It’s going to rain.’ And soon it begins to rain.
55. When you feel the wind begin to blow from the south, you say, ‘It will be a hot day.’ And you are right.
56. Hypocrites! You can understand the weather. Why don’t you understand what is happening now?
