Luke 12:49 - 12:53

Not Peace, but Division

49 “I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is finished! 51 Do you think that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; 52 for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
