Luke 12:49

49 "I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

Luke 12:49 In-Context

47 That slave who knew what his master wanted, but did not prepare himself or do what was wanted, will receive a severe beating.
48 But the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating will receive a light beating. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.
49 "I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed!
51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!
