47 “The servant who knew what his master wanted but didn’t get ready to do it will receive a hard beating.
48 But the servant who didn’t know ⌊what his master wanted⌋ and did things for which he deserved punishment will receive a light beating. A lot will be expected from everyone who has been given a lot. More will be demanded from everyone who has been entrusted with a lot.
49 “I have come to throw fire on the earth. I wish that it had already started!
50 I have a baptism to go through, and I will suffer until it is over.
51 “Do you think I came to bring peace to earth? No! I can guarantee that I came to bring nothing but division.
52 From now on a family of five will be divided. Three will be divided against two and two against three.
53 A father will be against his son and a son against his father. A mother will be against her daughter and a daughter against her mother. A mother-in-law will be against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
