47And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows;
48But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.
49I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.
50But there is a baptism which I have to undergo; and how am I kept back till it is complete!
51Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:
52For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.
53They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
