Luke 12:49 in Context — Luke 12
47 Porque el siervo que entendió la voluntad de su señor, y no se apercibió, ni hizo conforme á su voluntad, será azotado mucho.
48 Mas el que no entendió, é hizo cosas dignas de azotes, será azotado poco: porque á cualquiera que fué dado mucho, mucho será vuelto á demandar de él; y al que encomendaron mucho, más le será pedido.
49 Fuego vine á meter en la tierra: ¿y qué quiero, si ya está encendido?
50 Empero de bautismo me es necesario ser bautizado: y ¡cómo me angustio hasta que sea cumplido!
51 ¿Pensáis que he venido á la tierra á dar paz? No, os digo; mas disensión.
