Luke 12:47-52 New Century Version (NCV)

47. “The servant who knows what his master wants but is not ready, or who does not do what the master wants, will be beaten with many blows!

48. But the servant who does not know what his master wants and does things that should be punished will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded. And from the one trusted with much, much more will be expected.

49. “I came to set fire to the world, and I wish it were already burning!

50. I have a baptism 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.
