rather division: (52)for henceforth five shall be in one house, divided, three against two, and two against three. (53)The father shall take part against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the step-mother against her daughter-in-law, and the son's wife against her mother-in-law. (54)Then said he to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye say immediately, There cometh a shower; and it is so. (55)And when the south wind gently blows, ye say, It will be sultry hot; and so it is. (56)Ye hypocrites! ye know how to discern by experience from the appearance of the earth and of the sky; but how is it that ye do not discern this particular time? (57)And why even of yourselves do ye not decide what is just? (58)For as thou art going with thy prosecutor to the magistrate, on the way endeavour to make up the matter with him; lest he drag thee before the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. (59)I tell thee, thou mayest in no wise come out from thence, until thou hast paid the very last mite. CHAP. XIII. NOW there were some present at that time who informed him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. (2)And Jesus in reply said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? (3)I tell you, No: for except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (4)Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were debtors to divine justice above all the men who dwell at Jerusalem? (5)I tell you, No: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (6)Then he spake this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came, expecting fruit on it, and found none. (7)Then said he to the vine-dresser, Lo! for three years have I come, expecting fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it render the ground thus useless? (8)He answering said to him, Sir, let it e'en remain this year, until that I dig around it, and spread some manure: (9)perhaps it may then produce fruit: but if it does not, afterwards thou shalt cut it down. (10)And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the sabbath. (11)And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and unable to raise herself
