Luke 12:49-53

New Century Version

Jesus Causes Division

⁴⁹ “I came to set fire to the world, and I wish it were already burning! ⁵⁰ I have a baptism^[a] to suffer through, and I feel very troubled until it is over. ⁵¹ Do you think I came to give peace to the earth? No, I tell you, I came to divide it. ⁵² From now on, a family with five people will be divided, three against two, and two against three. ⁵³ They will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
