New International Version (© 2011)
"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

King James Bible
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

American Standard Version
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?

Young's Literal Translation
'Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was kindled?

Luke 12:49 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

I am come to send fire - See this subject largely explained on Matthew 10:34 (note), etc. From the connection in which these words stand, both in this place and in Matthew, it appears as if our Lord intended by the word fire, not only the consuming influence of the Roman sword, but also the influence of his own Spirit in the destruction of sin. In both these senses this fire was already kindled: as yet, however, it appeared but as a spark, but was soon to break out into an all-consuming flame.
