Luke 12:48
Compare all
46 the master of that servant will come on a aday when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.  
47 And athat servant who bknew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.  
48 aBut he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.  

Christ Brings Division

49 a“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!  
50 But aI have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is baccomplished!  
51 aDo you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, bbut rather division.
