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

³⁴ Think not that I have come to send peace on the earth. I have not come to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law: ³⁶ and a man's enemies shall be those of his own household.

³⁷ He that loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me: ³⁸ and whoever does not take his cross and fol low after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ He that finds his life shall lose it; and he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it.

⁴⁹ I have come to send fire on the earth; and how greatly do I wish that it were already kindled! ⁵⁰ I have an immersion with which to be immersed, and how distressed I am till it be accomplished! ⁵¹ Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I toll you, No; but rather dissension. ⁵² For from this time forth there shall be five in one house at variance, three with two, and two with three.

⁵³ The father shall be at variance with the son, and the son with the father; the mother with the daughter, and the daughter with the mother; the mother-in-law with her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law.
