New Living Translation

Luke 12:47-51 New Living Translation (NLT)

47. “And a servant who knows what the master wants, but isn’t prepared and doesn’t carry out those instructions, will be severely punished.

48. But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.

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

50. I have a terrible baptism of suffering ahead of me, and I am under a heavy burden until it is accomplished.

51. Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other!
