ISV(i)
51 Do you think that I came to bring peace on earth? Not at all, I tell you, but rather division!
52 From now on, five people in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
53 They will be divided father against son, son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
54Interpreting the Time
Then Jesus told the crowds, “When you see a cloud coming in from the west, you immediately say, ‘There’s going to be a storm,’ and that’s what happens.
55 When you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and so it is.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, yet you don’t know how to interpret the present time?”
57Settling with Your Opponent
“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
