two and two against three. 53 Father will square off against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-inlaw against mother-in-law."
Learning and practicing good judgment 54 Jesus also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud forming in the west, you immediately say, 'It's going to rain.' And indeed it does. 55 And when a south wind blows, you say, 'A heat wave is coming.' And it does. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret conditions on earth and in the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret the present time? 57 And why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going to court with your accuser, make your best effort to reach a settlement along the way. Otherwise, your accuser may bring you be fore the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59I tell you, you won't get out of there until you have paid the very last cent."

No, I tell you, but unless you change your hearts and lives, you will die just as they did. "What about those twelve people who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them?

Healing on a Sabbath
10 Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. "A woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and couldn't stand up straight. "When he saw her, Jesus called her to him and said, “Woman, you are set free from your sickness." 13 He placed his hands on her and she straightened up at once and praised God.
14The synagogue leader, incensed that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, responded, "There are six days during which work is permitted. Come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath day."

20 Again he said, "To what can I compare God's kingdom? It's like yeast, which a woman took and hid in a bushel of wheat flour until the yeast had worked its way through the whole."
