And that servant, who knew the will of his Lord, and who did not prepare and did not act according to his will, will be beaten many times over.
Yet he who did not know, and who acted in a way that deserves a beating, will be beaten fewer times. So then, of all to whom much has been given, much will be required. And of those to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be asked.
I have come to cast a fire upon the earth. And what should I desire, except that it may be kindled?
And I have a baptism, with which I am to be baptized. And how I am constrained, even until it may be accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to give peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
For from this time on, there will be five in one house: divided as three against two, and as two against three.
A father will be divided against a son, and a son against his father; a mother against a daughter and a daughter against a mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
