Luke 12:49

I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what more can I wish, if it is already kindled?

Already the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that fails to bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

When Jesus left the house, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to press him hard and question him closely upon many subjects,

Do you think that I am here to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but to cause division.

Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: "Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you."

Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him: "Teacher, reprove your disciples."

We must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.

"Rabbi," they replied, "the Jews were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?"

Meanwhile the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, were telling what they had seen.
