Matthew 10:34-39 - Not Peace, But A Sword Of Divisiveness

Matthew 10:34-39

34 Think not that I came to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set a man at variance with his father, and a daughter with her mother, and a bride with her motherinlaw; 36 and they of a mans own household will be his foes.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me; 38 and he that doth not take his cross, and follow me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life will lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake will find it.

Luke 12:49-53

49 I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I wish, if it hath been already kindled? 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how is my soul troubled, till it be accomplished! 51 Think ye that I came to give peace in the earth? I tell you, nay, but rather division. 52 For from this time forth five in one house will be divided, three against two, and two against three.

53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; the motherinlaw against her daughterinlaw, and the daughterinlaw against her motherinlaw.
