Luke 12:50 Context
48But hee that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall bee beaten with few stripes. For vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shal bee much required: and to whom men haue committed much, of him they will aske the more. 49¶ I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I, if it be already kindled? 50But I haue a baptisme to be baptized with, and how am I straitned till it be accomplished? 51Suppose yee that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, Nay, but rather diuision. 52For from henceforth there shalbe fiue in one house diuided, three against two, and two against three.
