主警戒門徒
12 這時，有幾萬人聚集，甚至彼此踐踏。耶穌開講，先對門徒說：「你們要防備法利賽人的酵，就是假冒為善。 2 掩蓋的事沒有不露出來的，隱藏的事沒有不被人知道的。 3 因此，你們在暗中所說的，將要在明處被人聽見；在內室附耳所說的，將要在房上被人宣揚。 4 我的朋友，我對你們說，那殺身體以後不能再做什麼的，不要怕他們。 5 我要指示你們當怕的是誰，當怕那殺了以後又有權柄丟在地獄裡的。我實在告訴你們：正要怕他！ 6 五個麻雀不是賣二分銀子嗎？但在神面前，一個也不忘記。 7 就是你們的頭髮，也都被數過了。不要懼怕，你們比許多麻雀還貴重。
褻瀆聖靈不得赦免
8 「我又告訴你們：凡在人面前認我的，人子在神的使者面前也必認他； 9 在人面前不認我的，人子在神的使者面前也必不認他。 10 凡說話干犯人子的，還可得赦免；唯獨褻瀆聖靈的，總不得赦免。 11 人帶你們到會堂，並官府和有權柄的人面前，不要思慮怎麼分訴，說什麼話， 12 因為正在那時候，聖靈要指教你們當說的話。」
警戒貪心
13 眾人中有一個人對耶穌說：「夫子，請你吩咐我的兄長和我分開家業。」 14 耶穌說：「你這個人！誰立我做你們斷事的官，給你們分家業呢？」 15 於是對眾人說：「你們要謹慎自守，免去一切的貪心，因為人的生命不在乎家道豐富。」
無知的財主
16 就用比喻對他們說：「有一個財主田產豐盛， 17 自己心裡思想說：『我的出產沒有地方收藏，怎麼辦呢？』 18 又說：『我要這麼辦：要把我的倉房拆了，另蓋更大的，在那裡好收藏我一切的糧食和財物， 19 然後要對我的靈魂說：「靈魂哪，你有許多財物積存，可做多年的費用，只管安安逸逸地吃喝快樂吧！」』 20 神卻對他說：『無知的人哪，今夜必要你的靈魂，你所預備的要歸誰呢？』 21 凡為自己積財，在神面前卻不富足的，也是這樣。」
勿慮衣食
22 耶穌又對門徒說：「所以我告訴你們，不要為生命憂慮吃什麼，為身體憂慮穿什麼。 23 因為生命勝於飲食，身體勝於衣裳。 24 你想烏鴉，也不種也不收，又沒有倉又沒有庫，神尚且養活牠，你們比飛鳥是何等地貴重呢！ 25 你們哪一個能用思慮使壽數多加一刻呢[a]？ 26 這最小的事你們尚且不能做，為什麼還憂慮其餘的事呢？ 27 你想百合花怎麼長起來，它也不勞苦，也不紡線，然而我告訴你們：就是所羅門極榮華的時候，他所穿戴的還不如這花一朵呢！ 28 你們這小信的人哪！野地裡的草今天還在，明天就丟在爐裡，神還給它這樣的裝飾，何況你們呢！ 29 你們不要求吃什麼、喝什麼，也不要掛心。 30 這都是外邦人所求的。你們必須用這些東西，你們的父是知道的。 31 你們只要求他的國，這些東西就必加給你們了。 32 你們這小群，不要懼怕，因為你們的父樂意把國賜給你們。
論真財寶
33 「你們要變賣所有的賙濟人，為自己預備永不壞的錢囊、用不盡的財寶在天上，就是賊不能近、蟲不能蛀的地方。 34 因為你們的財寶在哪裡，你們的心也在哪裡。
35 「你們腰裡要束上帶，燈也要點著， 36 自己好像僕人等候主人從婚姻的筵席上回來。他來到叩門，就立刻給他開門。 37 主人來了，看見僕人警醒，那僕人就有福了。我實在告訴你們：主人必叫他們坐席，自己束上帶進前伺候他們。 38 或是二更天來，或是三更天來，看見僕人這樣，那僕人就有福了。 39 家主若知道賊什麼時候來，就必警醒，不容賊挖透房屋，這是你們所知道的。 40 你們也要預備，因為你們想不到的時候，人子就來了。」
善僕與惡僕的報應
41 彼得說：「主啊，這比喻是為我們說的呢，還是為眾人呢？」 42 主說：「誰是那忠心有見識的管家，主人派他管理家裡的人，按時分糧給他們呢？ 43 主人來到，看見僕人這樣行，那僕人就有福了。 44 我實在告訴你們：主人要派他管理一切所有的。 45 那僕人若心裡說『我的主人必來得遲』，就動手打僕人和使女，並且吃喝醉酒， 46 在他想不到的日子，不知道的時辰，那僕人的主人要來，重重地處治他[b]，定他和不忠心的人同罪。 47 僕人知道主人的意思，卻不預備，又不順他的意思行，那僕人必多受責打。 48 唯有那不知道的，做了當受責打的事，必少受責打。因為多給誰，就向誰多取；多託誰，就向誰多要。
侍主和不侍主的紛爭
49 「我來要把火丟在地上，倘若已經著起來，不也是我所願意的嗎？ 50 我有當受的洗還沒有成就，我是何等地迫切呢！ 51 你們以為我來是叫地上太平嗎？我告訴你們：不是，乃是叫人紛爭。 52 從今以後，一家五個人將要紛爭：三個人和兩個人相爭，兩個人和三個人相爭； 53 父親和兒子相爭，兒子和父親相爭；母親和女兒相爭，女兒和母親相爭；婆婆和媳婦相爭，媳婦和婆婆相爭。」
54 耶穌又對眾人說：「你們看見西邊起了雲彩，就說『要下一陣雨』，果然就有。 55 起了南風，就說『將要燥熱』，也就有了。 56 假冒為善的人哪，你們知道分辨天地的氣色，怎麼不知道分辨這時候呢？ 57 你們又為何不自己審量什麼是合理的呢？ 58 你同告你的對頭去見官，還在路上，務要盡力地和他了結，恐怕他拉你到官面前，官交付差役，差役把你下在監裡。 59 我告訴你：若有半文錢沒有還清，你斷不能從那裡出來。」

Parlare apertamente e senza timore
12 Nel frattempo, radunatesi migliaia di persone che si calpestavano a vicenda, Gesù cominciò a dire anzitutto ai discepoli: «Guardatevi dal lievito dei farisei, che è l'ipocrisia. 2 Non c'è nulla di nascosto che non sarà svelato, né di segreto che non sarà conosciuto. 3 Pertanto ciò che avrete detto nelle tenebre, sarà udito in piena luce; e ciò che avrete detto all'orecchio nelle stanze più interne, sarà annunziato sui tetti.
4 A voi miei amici, dico: Non temete coloro che uccidono il corpo e dopo non possono far più nulla. 5 Vi mostrerò invece chi dovete temere: temete Colui che, dopo aver ucciso, ha il potere di gettare nella Geenna. Sì, ve lo dico, temete Costui. 6 Cinque passeri non si vendono forse per due soldi? Eppure nemmeno uno di essi è dimenticato davanti a Dio. 7 Anche i capelli del vostro capo sono tutti contati. Non temete, voi valete più di molti passeri.
8 Inoltre vi dico: Chiunque mi riconoscerà davanti agli uomini, anche il Figlio dell'uomo lo riconoscerà davanti agli angeli di Dio; 9 ma chi mi rinnegherà davanti agli uomini sarà rinnegato davanti agli angeli di Dio.
10 Chiunque parlerà contro il Figlio dell'uomo gli sarà perdonato, ma chi bestemmierà lo Spirito Santo non gli sarà perdonato.
11 Quando vi condurranno davanti alle sinagoghe, ai magistrati e alle autorità, non preoccupatevi come discolparvi o che cosa dire; 12 perché lo Spirito Santo vi insegnerà in quel momento ciò che bisogna dire».
Non accumulare tesori
13 Uno della folla gli disse: «Maestro, dì a mio fratello che divida con me l'eredità». 14 Ma egli rispose: «O uomo, chi mi ha costituito giudice o mediatore sopra di voi?». 15 E disse loro: «Guardatevi e tenetevi lontano da ogni cupidigia, perché anche se uno è nell'abbondanza la sua vita non dipende dai suoi beni». 16 Disse poi una parabola: «La campagna di un uomo ricco aveva dato un buon raccolto. 17 Egli ragionava tra sé: Che farò, poiché non ho dove riporre i miei raccolti? 18 E disse: Farò così: demolirò i miei magazzini e ne costruirò di più grandi e vi raccoglierò tutto il grano e i miei beni. 19 Poi dirò a me stesso: Anima mia, hai a disposizione molti beni, per molti anni; riposati, mangia, bevi e datti alla gioia. 20 Ma Dio gli disse: Stolto, questa notte stessa ti sarà richiesta la tua vita. E quello che hai preparato di chi sarà? 21 Così è di chi accumula tesori per sé, e non arricchisce davanti a Dio».
Abbandonarsi alla Provvidenza
22 Poi disse ai discepoli: «Per questo io vi dico: Non datevi pensiero per la vostra vita, di quello che mangerete; né per il vostro corpo, come lo vestirete. 23 La vita vale più del cibo e il corpo più del vestito. 24 Guardate i corvi: non seminano e non mietono, non hanno ripostiglio né granaio, e Dio li nutre. Quanto più degli uccelli voi valete! 25 Chi di voi, per quanto si affanni, può aggiungere un'ora sola alla sua vita? 26 Se dunque non avete potere neanche per la più piccola cosa, perché vi affannate del resto? 27 Guardate i gigli, come crescono: non filano, non tessono: eppure io vi dico che neanche Salomone, con tutta la sua gloria, vestiva come uno di loro. 28 Se dunque Dio veste così l'erba del campo, che oggi c'è e domani si getta nel forno, quanto più voi, gente di poca fede? 29 Non cercate perciò che cosa mangerete e berrete, e non state con l'animo in ansia: 30 di tutte queste cose si preoccupa la gente del mondo; ma il Padre vostro sa che ne avete bisogno. 31 Cercate piuttosto il regno di Dio, e queste cose vi saranno date in aggiunta.
32 Non temere, piccolo gregge, perché al Padre vostro è piaciuto di darvi il suo regno.
Vendere i propri beni e fare l'elemosina
33 Vendete ciò che avete e datelo in elemosina; fatevi borse che non invecchiano, un tesoro inesauribile nei cieli, dove i ladri non arrivano e la tignola non consuma. 34 Perché dove è il vostro tesoro, là sarà anche il vostro cuore.
Tenersi pronti per il ritorno del padrone
35 Siate pronti, con la cintura ai fianchi e le lucerne accese; 36 siate simili a coloro che aspettano il padrone quando torna dalle nozze, per aprirgli subito, appena arriva e bussa. 37 Beati quei servi che il padrone al suo ritorno troverà ancora svegli; in verità vi dico, si cingerà le sue vesti, li farà mettere a tavola e passerà a servirli. 38 E se, giungendo nel mezzo della notte o prima dell'alba, li troverà così, beati loro! 39 Sappiate bene questo: se il padrone di casa sapesse a che ora viene il ladro, non si lascerebbe scassinare la casa. 40 Anche voi tenetevi pronti, perché il Figlio dell'uomo verrà nell'ora che non pensate».
41 Allora Pietro disse: «Signore, questa parabola la dici per noi o anche per tutti?». 42 Il Signore rispose: «Qual è dunque l'amministratore fedele e saggio, che il Signore porrà a capo della sua servitù, per distribuire a tempo debito la razione di cibo? 43 Beato quel servo che il padrone, arrivando, troverà al suo lavoro. 44 In verità vi dico, lo metterà a capo di tutti i suoi averi. 45 Ma se quel servo dicesse in cuor suo: Il padrone tarda a venire, e cominciasse a percuotere i servi e le serve, a mangiare, a bere e a ubriacarsi, 46 il padrone di quel servo arriverà nel giorno in cui meno se l'aspetta e in un'ora che non sa, e lo punirà con rigore assegnandogli il posto fra gli infedeli. 47 Il servo che, conoscendo la volontà del padrone, non avrà disposto o agito secondo la sua volontà, riceverà molte percosse; 48 quello invece che, non conoscendola, avrà fatto cose meritevoli di percosse, ne riceverà poche. A chiunque fu dato molto, molto sarà chiesto; a chi fu affidato molto, sarà richiesto molto di più.
Gesù e la sua passione
49 Sono venuto a portare il fuoco sulla terra; e come vorrei che fosse gia acceso! 50 C'è un battesimo che devo ricevere; e come sono angosciato, finché non sia compiuto!
Gesù causa di dissenso
51 Pensate che io sia venuto a portare la pace sulla terra? No, vi dico, ma la divisione. 52 D'ora innanzi in una casa di cinque persone 53 si divideranno tre contro due e due contro tre;
padre contro figlio e figlio contro padre,
madre contro figlia e figlia contro madre,
suocera contro nuora e nuora contro suocera».
Saper interpretare i segni dei tempi
54 Diceva ancora alle folle: «Quando vedete una nuvola salire da ponente, subito dite: Viene la pioggia, e così accade. 55 E quando soffia lo scirocco, dite: Ci sarà caldo, e così accade. 56 Ipocriti! Sapete giudicare l'aspetto della terra e del cielo, come mai questo tempo non sapete giudicarlo? 57 E perché non giudicate da voi stessi ciò che è giusto? 58 Quando vai con il tuo avversario davanti al magistrato, lungo la strada procura di accordarti con lui, perché non ti trascini davanti al giudice e il giudice ti consegni all'esecutore e questi ti getti in prigione. 59 Ti assicuro, non ne uscirai finché non avrai pagato fino all'ultimo spicciolo».

Warnings and Encouragements(A)
12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.(B) 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(C) 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
4 “I tell you, my friends,(D) do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.(E) 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(F) Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(G)
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.(H) 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned(I) before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man(J) will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.(K)
11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,(L) 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”(M)
The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”(N)
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool!(O) This very night your life will be demanded from you.(P) Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’(Q)
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”(R)
Do Not Worry(S)
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.(T) And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[b]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor(U) was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!(V) 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father(W) knows that you need them.(X) 31 But seek his kingdom,(Y) and these things will be given to you as well.(Z)
32 “Do not be afraid,(AA) little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.(AB) 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor.(AC) Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven(AD) that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.(AE) 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.(AF)
Watchfulness(AG)(AH)
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.(AI) Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.(AJ) 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief(AK) was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready,(AL) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42 The Lord(AM) answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.(AN) He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.(AO) 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.(AP) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Not Peace but Division(AQ)
49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism(AR) to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!(AS) 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They 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.”(AT)
Interpreting the Times
54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.(AU) 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?(AV)
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.(AW) 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”(AX)

King James Version
12 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
