The Book of Jesus Chapter Eleven: The life of Jesus from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John in easy-to-read, chronological format.
JESUS.
Who is the faithful and wise servant, the one whom his master will put in a position of authority over all his household, the one
assigned to give them their allowance of food at the proper time? Happy that servant if upon his master's arrival finds him at this
employment. I tell you truly, he will place him over everything he owns. But if that the servant says to himself, "My master won't be
returning for a while" and begins to beat the menservants and the maids, eating and drinking and getting drunk. The master of that
servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know. The master will cut him off and will give him his
portion with the unbelievers. Now that servant knew what his master wanted, but had chosen to do what he himself wanted to do and
had not followed his master's wishes. This servant will be beaten with very many strokes of the lash. However, the one who did not
know, but did commit things worthy of punishment will receive fewer strokes. For the man to whom much is given, of that man will
much be required. When men give much responsibility to a man, of that man will they require all the more.
Luke 12:35-48

JESUS.
I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it was already blazing. But I have a baptism that I must be baptized with, and it
weighs heavy on me until it is over! Do you suppose that I'm here to bring peace on earth? I tell you that I'm not, but rather division.
For from this point onward there will five in a household divided: three against two and two against three; the father will be divided
against the son, the son against father, the mother against daughter, the daughter against mother, the mother-in-law against
daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
NARRATOR.
And he also said to the people:
JESUS.
When you see a cloud rise out of the west you immediately say a shower is coming, and so it does. And when the wind is from the
south you say it's going to be hot, and it is. Hypocrites, you know how to interpret the face of the sky and the earth, how is it that
you're not able to discern this time? Why not judge for yourselves what's right? When you go to court with your opponent, try to settle
the matter with him while you're on the way there. Otherwise, he may drag you before the judge and the judge hand you over to the
bailiff and the bailiff throws you into prison. I tell you, you will not get out from there until you have paid the very last penny.
Luke 12:49-59
