Luke 12:49-53
21st Century King James Version
49 “I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose ye that I have come to give peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather division.
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

American Standard Version
49 I came to cast fire upon the earth; and [a]what do I desire, if it is already kindled? 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 51 Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52 for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.
