Father, son, mother, and daughter

  

In Luke 12:51, 53: By father against son, and by son against the father, is understood evil against truth, and truth against evil; and by mother against daughter, and by the daughter against the mother, is understood the lust of falsity against the affection of truth, and vice versa.
