Luke 12:49

"I came to cast fire on the earth; and what wish I, if it were already kindled?

And already the axe is lying at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, not bearing good fruit, is cut down, and cast into the fire.

And, when He went forth thence, the scribes and Pharisees began vehemently to press upon Him, and to urge Him to speak concerning many things;

Think ye that I came to give peace in the earth? I tell you, nay, but rather division.

In that very hour, there came certain Pharisees, saying to Him, "Go out, and journey hence; because Herod is wishing to kill Thee."

And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Thy disciples!"

We must work the works of Him Who sent Me, while it is day. Night is coming, when no one can work.

The disciples say to Him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone Thee; and art Thou going there again?"

The multitude, therefore, that was with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was bearing testimony.
