I tell you, Nay, but rather diuision. 52For from henceforth there shalbe fiue in one house diuided, three against two, and two against three. 53The father shall bee diuided against the sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in law against her mother in lawe.
