Luke 12:46-51 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

46. the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two and assign his place with the unbelievers.

47. And that slave who knew the will of his master and did not prepare or do according to his will will be given a severe beating.

48. But the one who did not know and did things deserving blows will be given a light beating. And from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be demanded, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask him for even more.

49. “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish that it had been kindled already!

50. But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am distressed until it is accomplished!

51. Do you think that I have come to grant peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!
