Luke 12:49-53
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
49 “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! 50 [a]There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!(A) 51 Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?(B) No, I tell you, but rather division.(C) 52 From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; 53 a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”(D)
Signs of the Times.(E)
