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

Matthew 10:34-39

34 Do not think, that I came to thrust peace upon the earth, - I came not to thrust, peace, but, a sword; 35 For I came to set at variance - a man, against, his father, and, a daughter, against, her mother, and, a bride, against, her mother-in-law; 36 And, a man foes, are, they of his own house.

37 He that loveth father or mother above me, is not, worthy, of me, - and, he that loveth son or daughter above me, is not, worthy, of me; 38 And, he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not, worthy, of me. 39 He that hath found his life, shall lose it, - and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.

Luke 12:49-53

49 Fire, came I to cast upon the earth, - and what can I wish, if, already, it hath been, kindled? 50 But, an immersion, have I, to be immersed with, and how am I distressed, until it be ended! 51 Suppose ye, that, peace, I am come to give in the earth? Nay, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For there shall be, henceforth, five in one house, divided, - three against two, and two against three:

53 There shall be divided - Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother, - mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
