Not Peace, but Division

Luke 12

49 a "I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! 50 b I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how c great is my distress until it is accomplished! 51 d Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? e No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, f 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."
