Luke 12:49-53
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Not Peace but Division
49 “I came(A) to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already set ablaze! 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with,(B) and how it consumes(C) Me until it is finished!(D) 51 Do you think that I came here to give peace to the earth?(E) No, I tell you, but rather division! 52 From now on, five in one household will be divided: three against two, and two against three.
53 They will be divided, father against son,
son against father,
mother against daughter,
daughter against mother,
mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law,
and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”(F)[a]
