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!
51 aDo you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, bbut rather division.
52 aFor from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.
