12 49 'I have come to set fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! I have a baptism to undergo, so and how hampered I am until the ordeal is over! 12 50 I have a baptism to undergo, so and how hampered I am until the ordeal is over! 12 51 Do you suppose I came to establish peace on earth? No indeed, I have come to bring division. 12 52 For from now on, five members of a family will be divided, three against two and two against three; 12 53 father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother against son's wife and son's wife against her mother-in-law.'
