I came to throw fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already blazing!
In context
47The servant who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act on it will be beaten with many blows. 48But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will be beaten with few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from the one entrusted with much, still more will be demanded. 49I came to throw fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already blazing! 50I have a baptism to undergo, and what pressure I am under until it is finished! 51Do you suppose I came to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
