LUKE 11:43 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.”
I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! — the fire Jesus came to bring is the fire of judgment and renewal that the Baptist announced: the one coming will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire (3:16). The kingdom's arrival does not produce peace but division, and Jesus is constrained until the baptism he must undergo — his death — is completed.
