Luke 12:46–54
46then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.↗
47That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,↗
48but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.↗
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 on 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.↗
