Luke 12:49-53

Not Peace, But a Sword of Divisiveness

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!
52 For from now on there will be five in one household, 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."
