New Century Version

Luke 12:48-51 New Century Version (NCV)

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.
