Luke 12:47-49
Complete Jewish Bible
47 Now the servant who knew what his master wanted but didn’t prepare or act according to his will, will be whipped with many lashes; 48 however, the one who did what deserves a beating, but didn’t know, will receive few lashes. From him who has been given much, much will be demanded — from someone to whom people entrust much, they ask still more.
49 “I have come to set fire to the earth! And how I wish it were already kindled!
