Luke 12:47-49
Worldwide English (New Testament)
47 `A servant knew what his master wanted. But he was not ready. He did not do what his master wanted him to do. So he will be beaten much.
48 But if a servant did not know and did something bad, he will be beaten only a little. To whom much has been given, from him much will be asked. When people give much to anyone, they will ask more from him.
49 `I came to start a fire on the earth. I wish the fire were already burning!
