Mar 18【每日活水】不与罪恶妥协

分裂的原因
49「我来要把火丢在地上，倘若已经着起来，不也是我所愿意的吗？

50 我有当受的洗还没有成就，我是何等地迫切呢？

51 你们以为我来，是叫地上太平吗？我告诉你们，不是，乃是叫人纷争。

52 从今以后，一家五个人将要纷争：三个人和两个人相争，两个人和三个人相争；

53 父亲和儿子相争，儿子和父亲相争；母亲和女儿相争，女儿和母亲相争；婆婆和媳妇相争，媳妇和婆婆相争。」

分辨时候

54 YS 又对众人说：「你们看见西边起了云彩，就说：『要下一阵雨』；果然就有。

55 起了南风，就说：『将要燥热』；也就有了。

56 假冒为善的人哪，你们知道分辨天地的气色，怎么不知道分辨这时候呢？」

同对头和解

57「你们又为何不自己审量什么是合理的呢？

58 你同告你的对头去见官，还在路上，务要尽力地和他了结；恐怕他拉你到官面前，官交付差役，差役把你下在监里。

59 我告诉你，若有半文钱没有还清，你断不能从那里出来。」

Not Peace but Division

49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!

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.”

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.

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?

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.

59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”
