Luke 12:49 in Context — Luke 12
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!
51 Pensez-vous que je sois venu apporter la paix sur la terre? Non, vous dis-je,mais la division.
