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

³⁴ Think not that I came to cast peace upon earth; I came not to cast peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the bride against her mother-in-law. ³⁶ And a man's enemies, they pertaining to his household.

³⁷ He loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me; and he loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And whoever takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ He finding his soul shall lose it; and he having lost his soul for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁹ I have come to cast fire into the earth; and what will I if it has been already lighted up! ⁵⁰ And I have an immersion to be immersed with; and how am I pressed together till it should be finished! ⁵¹ Think ye that I came to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you; but rather division: ⁵² For from now shall five be in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

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