15:10 I said, 1
“Oh, mother, how I regret 2 that you ever gave birth to me!
I am always starting arguments and quarrels with the people of this land. 3
I have not lent money to anyone and I have not borrowed from anyone.
Yet all of these people are treating me with contempt.” 4
12:49 “I have come 5 to bring 6 fire on the earth – and how I wish it were already kindled! 12:50 I have a baptism 7 to undergo, 8 and how distressed I am until it is finished! 12:51 Do you think I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! 9 12:52 For from now on 10 there will be five in one household divided, three against two and two against three. 12:53 They will be divided, 11 father 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 mother-in-law.”
7:40 When they heard these words, some of the crowd 12 began to say, “This really 13 is the Prophet!” 14 7:41 Others said, “This is the Christ!” 15 But still others said, “No, 16 for the Christ doesn’t come from Galilee, does he? 17 7:42 Don’t the scriptures say that the Christ is a descendant 18 of David 19 and comes from Bethlehem, 20 the village where David lived?” 21 7:43 So there was a division in the crowd 22 because of Jesus. 23 7:44 Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him. 24
7:45 Then the officers 25 returned 26 to the chief priests and Pharisees, 27 who said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him back with you?” 28 7:46 The officers replied, “No one ever spoke like this man!” 7:47 Then the Pharisees answered, 29 “You haven’t been deceived too, have you? 30 7:48 None of the rulers 31 or the Pharisees have believed in him, have they? 32 7:49 But this rabble 33 who do not know the law are accursed!”
7:50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus 34 before and who was one of the rulers, 35 said, 36 7:51 “Our law doesn’t condemn 37 a man unless it first hears from him and learns 38 what he is doing, does it?” 39 7:52 They replied, 40 “You aren’t from Galilee too, are you? 41 Investigate carefully and you will see that no prophet 42 comes from Galilee!”
