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

³⁴ Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I came to divide a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: ³⁶ and the enemies of a man will be the inmates of his own house.

³⁷ He that loveth father and 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 Whosoever does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ The one having found his soul shall lose it; and the one losing his soul for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁹ I have come to send fire on the earth; and what do I will, if it is already kindled? ⁵⁰ And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it may be perfected! ⁵¹ Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I say unto you, Nay, but division. ⁵² For from now, there shall be five in one house divided, three shall be divided against two, and two against three:

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