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

³⁴ Do not think that I have come to send peace upon 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 they of his household shall be a man's enemies.

³⁷ He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. ³⁹ He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁹ I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled? ⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished! ⁵¹ Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division: ⁵² for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided against two, and two against three:

⁵³ father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
