Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 12
⁴⁷ And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
⁴⁸ But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
⁴⁹ "I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!
⁵¹ Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.
⁵² For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.
⁵³ Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
⁵⁴ Then He also said to the multitudes, "Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ’A shower is coming’; and so it is.
⁵⁵ And when you see the south wind blow, you say, ’There will be hot weather’; and there is.
⁵⁶ Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?
⁵⁷ "Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?
