Not Peace but Division(A)
49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism(B) to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!(C) 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.”(D)
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.(E) 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?(F)
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.(G) 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”(H)
Repent or Perish
13 Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate(I) had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?(J) 3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam(K) fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent,(L) you too will all perish.”
6 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.(M) 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down!(N) Why should it use up the soil?’
8 “‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. 9 If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”

Pagkabaha-bahagi ng Sambahayan(A)
49 “Naparito ako upang magdala ng apoy sa lupa at sana'y nagliliyab na ito! 50 May(B) isang bautismo na dapat kong danasin, at ako'y nababagabag hangga't hindi ito nagaganap. 51 Akala ba ninyo'y naparito ako upang magdala ng kapayapaan sa lupa? Sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi kapayapaan ang dala ko kundi pagkabaha-bahagi. 52 Mula ngayon, ang lima sa isang sambahayan ay mahahati, tatlo laban sa dalawa at dalawa laban sa tatlo.
53 Ang(C) ama laban sa anak na lalaki,
at ang anak na lalaki laban sa ama;
ang ina laban sa anak na babae,
at ang anak na babae laban sa ina;
ang biyenang babae laban sa manugang na babae,
at ang manugang na babae laban sa biyenang babae.”
Pagkilala sa mga Palatandaan(D)
54 Sinabi rin ni Jesus sa mga tao, “Kapag nakita ninyong kumakapal ang ulap sa kanluran, sinasabi ninyo agad na uulan, at ganoon nga ang nangyayari. 55 At kung umiihip ang hangin mula sa katimugan ay sinasabi ninyong iinit, at nagkakaganoon nga. 56 Mga mapagkunwari! Marunong kayong umunawa ng palatandaan sa lupa at sa langit, bakit hindi ninyo nauunawaan ang mga tanda ng kasalukuyang panahon?”
Makipagkasundo sa Kaaway(E)
57 “Bakit hindi ninyo mapagpasyahan kung ano ang tamang gawin? 58 Kapag ikaw ay isinakdal, sikapin mong makipagkasundo ka sa nagsakdal sa iyo bago dumating sa hukuman; baka kaladkarin ka niya sa hukom, at ibigay ka ng hukom sa tanod, at ibilanggo ka naman nito. 59 Sinasabi ko sa iyo, hindi ka makakalabas doon hangga't hindi mo nababayaran ang kahuli-hulihang sentimo.”
Magsisi Upang Hindi Mapahamak
13 Dumating noon ang ilang tao at ibinalita kay Jesus na ipinapatay ni Pilato ang ilang mga taga-Galilea habang ang mga ito'y naghahandog sa Diyos. 2 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Akala ba ninyo, dahil sa sinapit nilang iyon, higit silang masama kaysa sa ibang mga taga-Galilea? 3 Hindi! Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, malibang magsisi kayo't talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan, mapapahamak din kayong tulad nila. 4 At ang labingwalong namatay nang mabagsakan ng tore sa Siloe, sa akala ba ninyo'y higit silang makasalanan kaysa sa ibang naninirahan sa Jerusalem? 5 Hindi! Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, malibang magsisi kayo't talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan, mapapahamak din kayong tulad nila.”
Ang Talinghaga ng Puno ng Igos
6 Sinabi pa sa kanila ni Jesus ang talinghagang ito. “May isang taong may tanim na puno ng igos sa kanyang ubasan. Minsan, tiningnan niya kung may bunga ang puno, ngunit wala siyang nakita. 7 Dahil dito, sinabi niya sa tagapag-alaga ng ubasan, ‘Tatlong taon na akong pumaparito at naghahanap ng bunga sa punong ito, ngunit wala akong makita. Putulin mo na't nakakasikip lang iyan!’ 8 Ngunit sumagot ang tagapag-alaga, ‘Huwag po muna nating putulin ngayon. Huhukayan ko po ang palibot at lalagyan ng pataba, 9 baka sakaling mamunga na sa susunod na taon. Kung hindi pa, saka po ninyo ipaputol.’”
