In Bible translation Indonesian version Everyday this section is entitled: "Not peace but resistance." and the New Living Translation Version of the Bible, first edition, in 1974 this section is entitled: "Jesus took the separation." In the New Living Translation Version of the Bible clearly mention who the cause of the quarrel, and not to be expanded into: "Jesus causing quarrels among people". It is not clear to us in the context of what Jesus was saying the words like the ones in this passage.
From verse 51 to be felt that his words here addressed to the disciples or his followers. In verse 54, gives the impression that the start of verse 54, Jesus' switch shows his words to the crowd. In this passage, narrated that the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ leads to a conflicting atmosphere among humans. People are challenged to make a decision to follow or opposing (against) him. In verse 49 says: "I came to cast fire upon the earth and how if I had expected, the fire had been lit! (Bible New Living Translation version), and the Bible Indonesian version of Daily said:" I came to cause fires on earth this.
It would be nice if the fire is already lit! The phrase, "I came to cast fire upon the earth", a literal translation from the Greek word is, "Fire is what I came to throw them to the earth." In the original Greek shows that the word "fire" is placed in the sentence, to show that the word that is emphasized, and it is opposed to "peace", as contained in paragraph 51.
"Fire": Given the context, the "fire" here symbolize the strife as the opposite of the word "peace" (verse 51). In order to understand this meaning, the word "dispute" can be added behind the word "fire", so that it becomes: "flames" or "fire fighting". Should the word or picture of the "fire" is, will be retained in the translation. But let the reader can understand the meaning, then it can be diverted into a "Like" or "For instance". In verse 50, we find the word "Baptism". Jesus used the word "Baptism" as a metaphor to describe the suffering that is very heavy.
As one who was baptized at that time must be entered completely into the water, so also the Lord Jesus Christ must have suffered an extraordinary heavy and painful. In the Indonesian version of the Bible Everyday here is not consistent with the previous paragraph, and just translate it to mean "great suffering." We recommend that translators use the word as used in paragraph 49, which both use the word figuratively. The phrase "How Was My hard heart until it is accomplished!": This indicates there is a time Jesus will experience the suffering that is so heavy, Jesus was troubled and he wanted to make things happen and it quickly passed. There is also the phrase "Bringing peace on earth", "bring peace" here means eliminating disputes or stop the fight. Peace in the Bible, illustrated with a number of situations, including: a state of harmonious society, peaceful and quite in needs, in harmony and mutual respect. Coming of the Lord Jesus did to bring peace between man and God, and between human beings with each other.
But also his coming at the same time bring the split between those who believe and receive Him by those who do not believe and who reject Him. So Jesus said that "I reiterate that I brought not peace but conflict." In paragraph 52 there is the word "opposition", said this would explain that contradiction is not just happening in the midst of society, but also can occur within a family. This can only happen because there are family members who accepted Jesus, while others do not. Up to in paragraph 53 of kinship relations within the family highlighted, that the conflict or dispute can happen and can threaten family relationships within the family itself.
