47And that servant, who knew his lord`s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];

48but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.

49I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?

50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

51Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53They 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.
