Luke 12:48 in Context — Luke 12
46 le maître de ce serviteur viendra le jour où il ne s’y attend pas et à l’heure qu’il ne connaît pas, il le mettra en pièces, et lui donnera sa part avec les infidèles.
47 Le serviteur qui, ayant connu la volonté de son maître, n’a rien préparé et n’a pas agi selon sa volonté, sera battu d’un grand nombre de coups.
48 Mais celui qui, ne l’ayant pas connue, a fait des choses dignes de châtiment, sera battu de peu de coups. On demandera beaucoup à qui l’on a beaucoup donné, et on exigera davantage de celui à qui l’on a beaucoup confié.
49 Je suis venu jeter un feu sur la terre, et qu’ai-je à désirer, s’il est déjà allumé?
50 Il est un baptême dont je dois être baptisé, et combien il me tarde qu’il soit accompli!
